March 2023 Nashville, TN –Nucor Steel Corporation has placed an order for new Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) equipment with Systems Spray-Cooled of The Systems Group for its greenfield sheet mill located in Mason County, WV. The Spray-Cooled™ equipment will cover 100% of Nucor Steel’s furnace cooling needs and will include the furnace sidewall, roof, and elbow for (2) new EAF’s. The EAF roof will be a 3-point gantry design. The elbow incorporates a new integrated drain design that eliminates bolted connections for quicker change outs. The EAF sidewall incorporates a unique proprietary ‘sloped’ hot face profile that includes integrated ‘bump-outs’ to help protect the burners and refractory bricks, and reduce scrap jams at the slag door opening area.
In addition to the Spray-Cooled™ equipment, Systems Contracting will also be supplying the piping throughout the entire meltshop.
Nucor Steel’s decision to install Spray-Cooled™ equipment was based on the need for the safest, most environmentally friendly, lowest cost option (supply and maintenance) along with the extended life and performance for water-cooled equipment.
