Abstract

The need for metal usage is indispensable in the daily activities of human life. Metal is needed for the construction of different infrastructures such as houses, roads, bridges etc but despite the fact there is huge amount of metal available, it does not meet the global demand. Thus this paper investigated continuity of refinery as a measure to improve the efficiency of Electric Arc Furnace. In order to achieve maximum precision during production, getting the product at relatively reduced price has remained a major problem to Scientists. The experiment was conducted at industrial scale whereby the time was varied from 20 to 40 minutes while energy consumption rose from 0.0542 to 0.1103 mW-Hour/ton and productivity fell from 253.0 to 99.2 ton/Hour .The data were collected from active furnace in Zerepaves Metallurgical plant, Russia and analyzed with software package for accuracy. It can be concluded that increasing refinery continuity reduces working productivity of the electric arc furnace.
