Steel manufacturing

Lower energy consumption when gas is used in a new way

Swerim has developed and tested two new methods for improving the use of process gases from the steel industry.

Scrap sorting

Compact-laser technology – smart recycling of aluminium

More than 70 million tonnes of aluminium are produced globally each year and demand continues to grow.

Hot steel

Laser detects cracks in steel

Cracks in steel are normally detected late during casting and the defective steel must then be either scrapped or repaired.

Blast furnace

Flue dust becomes blast furnace fuel

By recirculating flue dust as fuel in the blast furnace, both raw-material costs and environmental impact can be reduced.
