ABSTRACT:
A mill layout operating apparatus system and procedure for maximizing the recovery of exhaust or effluent gases from an electric arc metal refining or melting furnace is provided that makes use of a longitudinally extending scrap preheating bucket station providing ductway pad. The pad extends at its end to provide a down-positioned scrap loading station for each bucket immediately after its preheated content has been fed into the furnace preliminary to a second melting operation. At the same time, scrap buckets are positioned along the parallel stations of the ductway pad to preheat their scrap loads with the effluent or exhaust gas issuing from a smoke chest of the furnace and as generated by a preceding melting-down operation. The number of or capacities of the preheating buckets to be positioned on the ductway pad is proportioned to the amount of charge required for each furnace melting-down operation. This enables the furnace to be fully charged with scrap that has been preheated from a previous melting operation at one opening of the furnace roof, and within a minimum period of time from the standpoint of maintaining its roof crown portion in an open position.
