Title: INTECO supplied pneumatic lime injection system at Nucor Birmingham

Nucor Steel Birmingham awarded INTECO PTI a Purchase Order to install pneumatic lime injection at the EAF. The project includes one (1) 100 cu ft injection vessel. Both High Cal and Dolomitic Lime from separate silos are mixed into the single injection vessel. The lime will be introduced into the EAF through INTECO PTI’s annulus material injection burner. The burner is capable of introducing up to 5 MW of chemical energy into the furnace and can inject supersonic oxygen into the process along with pneumatically injecting lime through the center of the burner. This will increase the number of JetBOxes installed in the EAF from two to three. The project is expected to reduce lime consumption due to spillage from the current material handling system. The expected installation and start-up date was the fourth quarter of 2018.
