Process Energy Intensity Evaluation

Client: Nucor Corporation
Location: Multiple Locations, United States

Comprehensive energy analysis across 17 facilities to evaluate furnace energy efficiency and identify opportunities for optimization.

Scope of Work:

  • Visited each Nucor meltshop to assess energy utilization
  • Conducted analysis of furnace energy use for each electric arc furnace and reheat/tunnel furnace
  • Generated energy balance diagrams outlining furnace energy inputs and outputs
  • Quantified off-gas heat load and volumetric flow rates
  • Organized and led a 1.5-day seminar in Charlotte for key operating and environmental personnel from all meltshops
  • Presented findings from the energy analysis and provided recommendations to improve energy monitoring, control, and efficiency
