Nucor-Yamato Steel Company beam mill in Blytheville, AR, will expand their in-house heat treat with 180-shtph walking-beam furnace, as well as ancillary upstream & downstream material handling equipment.
The reheating furnace from Danieli Centro Combustion will deliver thermal efficiency and minimum environmental impact through low carbon footprint and NOx emissions.
The solution includes a material handling layout to be executed in phases, which will allow Nucor-Yamato to maintain production using the existing furnace without any major interruptions. This will mean minimal changes to the existing layout, enabling the use and retention of most of the existing equipment until the new equipment is installed.
The furnace has patented Hydro-Mab burners capable of firing up to 100% H2 for potential “Zero CO2” emissions and is expected to be operational by the Spring of 2025.
