Division Description of BAT I.i

The following items are important for integrated steelworks in order to improve the overall energy efficiency:

• optimising energy consumption

• online monitoring for the most important energy flows and combustion processes at the site including the monitoring of all gas flares in order to prevent energy losses, enabling instant maintenance and achieving an undisrupted production process

• reporting and analysing tools to check the average energy consumption of each process

• defining specific energy consumption levels for relevant processes and comparing them on a long-term basis

• carrying out energy audits as defined in the Energy Efficiency BREF, e.g. to identify cost-effective energy savings opportunities.
