Saint-Gobain Pam Canalisation Installs Largest Induction Furnace in Europe
圣戈班穆松桥公司安装欧洲最大的感应电炉 An exciting project for ABP Induction in France: This is where Saint-Gobain PAM Canalisation is installing the largest induction furnace in Europe. The French group's goal is CO2 emission-free production. ABP Induction will install an IFM 9 induction melting furnace with a capacity of 30 tons. Commissioning is scheduled for May 2022, with production to begin on 1 June 2022. In addition, Saint-Gobain has developed a recycling service where 100 percent of the casting waste can be reprocessed. Long-time ABP customer Saint-Gobain has already succeeded in a number of ambitious initiatives: the major recirculation project (circulation of industrial water, reducing consumption by twothirds), gas recovery from the blast furnace (recycled for use in the Pont-à-Mousson plant), the exclusive selection of Ecovadis-labeled raw materials, telescopic technology to reduce the CO2 impact of transport, and the introduction of an energy management system at all sites, to name a few. The investment in a large induction melting furnace is another step towards Saint-Gobain PAM Canalisation's ecological transformation. With the new furnace, production will no longer emit CO2 - this means a reduction in CO2 emissions of up to 10 percent per ton of cast iron produced by Saint-Gobain PAM Canalisation in Europe. Further steps in the circular economy: 100 percent of the pipes marketed by Saint-Gobain PAM Canalisation in Europe are also manufactured in Europe – most of them even in France. Compared to imported pipes from Asia, this reduces CO2 consumption. Moreover, 100 percent of the cast material used by Saint-Gobain PAM Canalisation can be recycled indefinitely without any performance loss. To this end, Saint-Gobain PAM Canalisation has developed a recycling service for old cast iron pipes, avoiding all final waste. The old pipes are transferred to Saint-Gobain PAM Canalisation's plants, where they are broken into pieces before remelting them into new pipes. The furnace that ABP Induction will deliver has a capacity of 18 MW. The challenge for ABP is the confined installation conditions at the customer's site. With a capacity of 120,000 tons of cast iron per year, the new furnace will increase production and allow the company to respond more quickly to customer requests. What's more, this furnace can be shut down and restarted more frequently, which provides greater flexibility in responding to demand. ■
ABP 感应系统公司在法国正进行一项激动人心的项 目：法国圣戈班穆松桥公司正在安装欧洲最大的感应电 炉，目标是实现二氧化碳零排放。ABP 感应系统公司将 为其安装一台容量为 30 吨的 IFM9 感应熔化炉，计划于 2022 年 5 月进行调试，并将于 2022 年 6 月 1 日投产。 此外，圣戈班还新增了回收服务，可以对铸件废料进行 100% 的回用。 ABP 公司的长期客户圣戈班集团已在多个雄心勃勃的 项目中取得成功，例如，主要的再循环项目（工业用水循环， 将用水量减少三分之二）、从高炉中回收气体（回收后用于 蓬塔穆松工厂）、专门选择埃科瓦迪斯认证的原材料、采用 伸缩式输送机技术减少二氧化碳的排放，以及在所有工厂引 入能源管理系统等。 对大型感应熔化炉的投资是圣戈班穆松桥公司向绿色 转型迈出新的一步。有了新的电炉，生产中将不再产生二氧 化碳——这意味着欧洲圣戈班穆松桥公司生产每吨铸铁可 减少 10% 的二氧化碳排放。 循 环 经 济 的 进 一 步 发 展： 圣 戈 班 穆 松 桥 公 司 在 欧 洲 销 售的管道全部也是在欧洲生产的，其中大部分甚至 在法国生产。与从亚洲进口相比，过程中就减少了二氧 化碳的排放。此外，圣戈班穆松桥公司使用的铸造材料 可以全部无限期地回收利用，材料性能没有任何损失。 为此，圣戈班穆松桥公司开发了旧铸铁管的回收服务， 避免了所有的最终浪费。将旧管道运输到圣戈班穆松桥 的工厂进行分解，然后重新熔化制成新的铸管。 ABP 感应系统公司即将交付的熔化电源为 18 兆瓦。 ABP 公司面临的挑战是客户的现场安装条件受限。新熔 炉 的 年 产 能 为 12 万 吨， 它 将 使 公 司 能 够 更 快 地 响 应 客 户要求。更重要的是，新的电炉可以更频繁地停止和重 新启动，从而能够更灵活地满足客户需求。 ■
