Iron and steelmakers around the world are facing enormous challenges. Common themes we hear from our customers include the need to lower production costs, improve quality, minimize exposure to industry cycles, improve energy management and focus on core steelmaking activities. As your industrial gas supplier, MOX-LINDE can play an integral part in helping you achieve these priorities.
Industrial gases are fundamental to the iron and steelmaking process. The optimal application of gases can make the difference in product quality, costs and operations excellence. In Malaysia, MOX-LINDE have had over 25 years market leadership and experience in the iron and steel industry, supplying gases to all the major iron and steel facilities. With our established expertise and experience, MOX-LINDE is uniquely positioned to serve you. With substantial portion of out production capacity committed to supplying the needs of the iron and steel industry, MOX-LINDE's long term commitment to the industry is clear.
Provider of innovative solutions
Industrial gases are intrinsic to many steelmaking processes oxygen, argon, nitrogen for EAF (electric air furnaces) and DRI (direct reduction iron) installations. MOX-LINDE can deliver innovative industrial gas applications to lower your cost of production, improve quality, optimize energy usage and achieve improved environmental performance. Our iron and steel specialists will review your operations and work closely with you to help realize additional benefits by the use of industrial gases throughout your process.
Lower cost of production
The use of oxygen can deliver improved productivity in many areas of iron and steelmaking. We are expert in the use of oxygen enrichment to improve productivity in processes. Best operating practices in EAFs (electric arc furnaces) has changed dramatically in recent years. MOX has a wide range of effective, flexible and reliable oxy-fuel burner systems and precision flow control panels suitable for a variety of applications including oxy-fuel assisted melting, scrap preheating and post combustion.
Improved quality
MOX-LINDE also has experience in gas supplied to bath agitation in the EAF and secondary steelmaking ladle. Nitrogen or argon bubbled through molten metal improves the homogeneity of temperature and composition, allowing rigorous quality specifications to be met consistently. Our experience extends to downstream processing. Nitrogen and hydrogen mixtures provide a protective atmosphere during annealing, galvanizing, hardening, tempering and austempering in order to achieve high surface quality. In addition, nitrogen can provide a convenient and controllable medium for the transfer of reactive elements in nitrocarburisng, carbonitriding, carburising and nitriding.
Energy optimization
MOX-LINDE specializes in optimizing the use of energy both on existing sites and on Greenfield sites through integration of gas production processes with iron and steelmaking and power generation. MOX-LINDE can help optimize energy balance through the effective use of waste energy streams. Using sophisticated techniques to review the energy balance across your site, our specialist process engineers will work in partnership with you to identify areas where energy can be optimized.
Enhanced operations
Environment, health and safety are of increasing importance to steelmakers all over the world. Nitrogen is used for the fume suppression on molten metal streams and, by reducing the load on fume extraction systems, significant capital and power savings can be achieved. Oxygen post combustion in an EAF reduces carbon monoxide in the furnace emissions, and the use of oxygen instead of air on re-heat furnaces reduces the flue gas volume.
