On October 17th and 18th 2022, BFI and MSI had the opportunity to visit Sidenor’s facilities in Basauri (Basque Country), to further discuss the s-X-AIPI project.
More specifically, a complete visit and tour of the plant was carried out (Scrap Yard, EAF, Casting) and the partners analysed the actual modelling tools which will be implemented in the s-X-AIPI Steel Use case.
Sidenor steel use case focuses on the optimised use of scrap (affected by disturbing elements like copper which are includes especially in low-quality external scrap) to produce high-quality steel products, avoid downstream surface quality problems and reduce process energy intensity (mainly in scrap melting Electric Arc Furnace EAF).
