Polish steel maker Cognor has chosen Danieli’s Q One technology patented by Danieli Automation to replace the existing transformer serving its 48 tonne EAF in Stalowa Wola in Poland to improve EAF performances and reduce operating costs. In an increasingly difficult market, with growing transformation costs, prime materials and energy steel producers are very much interested in Q-One digital power feeders to improve the operational costs of their electric and ladle furnaces. Q One is able to reduce electrical energy consumption about 10%, electrode consumption at least 10%. Q One offers the same performances while allowing a shorter power-on time, resulting in increased productivity. Q One at Cognor is scheduled to go in production in summer 2023. Operating electric steelmaking by using Q One also means limited electrical disturbances and a power factor close to the unity on the MV distribution, avoiding the use of compensation systems. Q One can be applied either to new installations or existing plants as upgrades, to small and large capacity melting units with individual power outputs up to 200 MW. Poraj based Cognor, founded in 1991, is part of an industrial group dealing with the production of steel products and trading in metal scrap and a leading producer of long products in Poland
