Description
Steam is a byproduct of the steelmaking process. It is a key form of energy widely used in many industrial and commercial applications for purposes such as heating, electricity generation, and cleaning. High-quality steam is crucial for ensuring process efficiency, equipment performance, and operational safety. Steam pressure, temperature, and purity are important indicators determining its suitability and efficiency. This dataset is compiled from multiple data sources. The dataset describes input amounts in electric arc furnace steelmaking: approximately 0.35 kg of scrap steel per kg of steel produced (of which 0.23 kg/kg steel is nickel-containing scrap), and approximately 0.5 kg of nickel pig iron per kg of steel produced.
Activity Description
The production process of billets includes electric furnace smelting, molten steel refining, casting and shaping of molten steel, covering energy consumption, material consumption, waste treatment, and environmental emissions during the production process. Steam is a by-product of this process.
