Major Improvments :--( 1 )Increased the production from average monthly from 20, 000 to 65, 000 MT / Monthly ( maximum was 82, 000 MT / Month ). Leakages of HCC, Hoses-water / Oil eliminated by providing heat shield + new way of pourback + new material ( 2 ) Bottom shell life increased from average 200 heats to average 300 heats ( maximum 380 heats) by decreasing breakdown of carbon injection machine.( 3 ) Roof change, Bottom shell change, Water panel change done in less time. ( 4 ) Was interested to introduce bottom purging at bottom shell of EAF.
