Description

SIDENOR is committed to hydrogen to lead the sustainable steel industry. A benchmark in the Spanish steel industry, SIDENOR is taking a major step towards sustainability by integrating hydrogen into its production process.

This advance not only aims to significantly reduce CO2 emissions, but also sets a new standard in steelmaking.

Scope & Objective

The project will start with hydrogen tests on a ladle heater, a key auxiliary equipment in the steelmaking process.

For these tests, a vertical ladle heater, now operating on a gas/air system, will be modified. The new design will allow the heater to operate in a hybrid way, combining oxy-gas and oxy-hydrogen.

Once this modification has been made, IFISA will carry out the necessary engineering to ensure the success of the hydrogen trials.

This will include storage planning, installation of decompression equipment, piping layout, determination of safety distances, compliance with legal requirements, as well as testing and commissioning.

Finally, the hydrogen heating test will be carried out, gathering all the necessary data to draw conclusions on the feasibility and efficiency of the use of hydrogen in this industrial context.

IFISA has entrusted TEAM and HYteam with the safety studies to be carried out for this test.
