| 05/06/2008 | | | Efficient Extraction of By-Products for Sale to the Market – Siemens Modernizes Coke-Oven By-Product Plant at Isdemir, Turkey |
| A project comprising the expansion and modernization of a coke-oven by-product plant, which Siemens Metals Technologies implemented for the Turkish steel producer Isdemir, was completed in February 2008. Two semi-separate gas-treatment lines are now in operation, increasing the processing capacity from 70,000 to 140,000 Nm3 of coke-oven gas per hour. This allows Isdemir to extract and sell approximately 40,000 tons t/a of ammonium sulfate, 75,000 t/a of tar and 30,000 t/a of benzol. At the same time, environmental emissions are significantly reduced. The process automation supplied by Siemens enables plant monitoring and operating functions to be carried out from a central control pulpit. Precise monitoring and process control ensures that the plant achieves highest efficiency at a high level of quality control and operational safety.

| 05/05/2008 | | | The new SFC series: systematic measuring and controlling |
| The flexible SFC devices from Siemens Water Technologies constitute a new measuring and controlling series which complements the concept of the multi-functional MFC system. The SFC series is intended for single measurements of water parameters as is necessary in simple applications. One main function is controlled chemical dosing which is used when disinfectant has to be added, for example. The series of devices matches the MFC system not only in terms of design and dimensions but also in terms of the range of functions. The two types of device are based on the same software and can therefore be combined and communicate with each other via a CAN bus.

| 04/18/2008 | | | Higher Productivity with Reduced Environmental Emissions –
Start-up of Modernized Finger-Shaft EAF at Stahl Gerlafingen, Switzerland |
| In January 2008, the modernized finger-shaft electric arc furnace (EAF) of Stahl Gerafingen AG (part of the Beltrame Group) was restarted following a project duration of ten months and a furnace downtime of slightly more than three weeks for disassembly, erection and commissioning activities. The objective of this modernization, carried out by Siemens Metals Technologies, was to increase productivity and at the same time to reduce the emissions of the steel works which is located in the midst of the town of Gerlafingen. The EAF was equipped with a new shaft which included scrap-retaining fingers for the scrap preheating as well as an improved offgas exhaust system and an optimized charging process. The contractual performance parameters were met within a week. The capacity of the modernized furnace was increased considerably and the availability of the plant exceeded 98 percent within just a few weeks after commissioning.
