Scrap consumption in Steelmaking

Global Steel production in 2009 totalled 1.2 billion tonnes, using approx 600 million tonnes of scrap The value of that scrap amounts to approx $140 billion* As the worlds largest steel producer China consumes more scrap in steelmaking than any other country 550 million tonnes LST in 2009 170 million tonnes scrap consumption in 2009

Steel Production (million tonnes)

Steelmaking Scrap Consumption 2009

*Based upon 2009 average scrap price of $230 per tonne

Scrap is the most significant raw material cost

70% of steelmaking costs are raw materials Scrap makes up a large proportion of this

Estimated Scrap input cost $204 million/year $374 million/year 3 million tonne BOS plant 1 million tonne EAF plant

*Based upon average scrap price of $340 per tonne

Best Practice scrap management

Best-in-Class scrap management allows the Steelmaker to: Downgrade/reject merchant scrap loads Reduce scrap yard landfill costs Minimise scrap stocks Optimize scrap charges

Through Processes Impact

Consequences of poor scrap management:

=> EAF delays waiting for scrap => Incorrect weights charged => Low yields => Increased slag volumes => Missed specifications => Increased refractory wear => Greater flux, O2, power consumption
Financial impact:

1 minutes lost production time approx $3000 10oC Cooling requirement approx $440 per heat +100 ppm [O] at tap approx $51 per heat

Harsco Metals Scrap Management Solutions

Optimum scrap mix is charged each and every time on time the correct weight, the correct quality, zero delays Full inspection, including state of the art radiation detection for all purchased scrap Proactive reporting of scrap deliveries to enable cash recovery associated with OOS loads, rejected loads and contaminated loads Real time IT control for internal and purchased scrap with full stock tracking and reporting system Full traceability and accountability of scrap throughout site so that potential for fraud can be eliminated

ScrapMaster

Four integrated operating modules for cost-effective management of the entire scrap supply chain, with full segregation and traceability.

ScrapMaster Value

ScrapMaster can unlock significant savings

Save on external scrap purchasing Realise the maximum value of internal scrap Charge the optimum scrap mix on time, every time Monitor the entire scrap charge history

The unique video review function in ScrapMaster allows the furnace manager to monitor exactly what scrap was loaded at what time, in case of any problem with a particular heat.

Scrap Optimization

ScrapMaster now integrates BOSS (Blending Optimization Software Suite) functionality Under license from Management Science Associates, Inc. World leading optimization program Yield-based cost calculation Actual scrap cost per tonne of steel Value of the scrap inventory on a real-time basis Minimises scrap charge cost, grade by grade Based on specific grade production data entered by the steelmaker planned tonnage, scrap composition, prices, availability and inventory

Successful Optimizing
Factors for Optimization Accuracy Input scrap analysis is critical
Regular melt tests and spectrographic analysis of scrap required to build database Update model as more and more information is gathered

Factors for Optimized Operations Accurate recording of scrap charge weight

Use ScrapMaster system to ensure scrap charge weights are recorded heat by heat

Furnace characteristics to be established

Full partnership approach needed so that details of furnace characteristics and production plan are shared

Exact Knowledge of scrap being charged

Use ScrapMaster DGPS system to ensure full tracking of scrap charge

Clear demonstration of optimization impact

Compare actual scrap charge recipe, weight and cost heat by heat and day by day with optimized solution

Scrap Analysis
Accurate chemical analysis data is required for scrap materials Need to begin population of scrap database To start process, need melt tests of each scrap Ongoing testing of scrap will be required to populate database with a large number of samples to improve model accuracy
