RHI Magnesita

Enhancing Sustainability in Steel Production: RHI Magnesita’s Solutions As the global community prioritises the reduction of carbon footprint, the adoption of innovative technologies becomes crucial for steel producers. In this context, #RHIMagnesita offers several innovative solutions. 2 examples are presented here, relating to Electric Arc Furnaces (EAFs) and Tundish applications. 1. EAF Direct Purging Plug Systems (RADEX DPP) Our integrated systems include state-of-the-art gas purging systems as well as the functional DPP purge plugs and optimise the melting of steel by injecting purging agents through the furnace bottom. The presence of the continuous inert gas bubble columns provides metallurgical benefits in the EAF: increased metal yield, increased dephosphorization, lower nitrogen levels with argon gas stirring, higher control on the FeO content of the slag, and most importantly, the avoidance of overoxidized slags. Further benefits include higher productivity, reduced energy consumption, and improved heat distribution, especially for larger EAF sizes (>150mt). 2. Tundish Cold Setting Technology A self-hardening mix with non-toxic binder technology. Requires only 1.3 - 1.5 wt.% water addition and no external heat supply. Zero energy consumption due to cold setting, enabling cold start practice. Smooth and reproducible lining technology for short and long sequence casting, with fast tundish turnaround and a small tundish fleet. These are 2 examples of RHI Magnesita's Green Steel Portfolio, which increases productivity and cost efficiency in steel production. They also contribute to sustainability by reducing #CO2emissions per tonne of steel produced. Let’s build a greener future together! 🌱 Stay tuned and follow our #RHIMagnesita_Innovation for more updates in the field of #flowcontrol and #advancedtechnologies.

Celebramos no mês de junho o Orgulho LGBTI (Lésbicas, Gays, Bissexuais, Transexuais e demais pessoas dentro do espectro de diversidade sexual e de gênero), movimento que reforça a importância do respeito à diversidade e combate ao preconceito. Infelizmente, como mostra nosso vídeo, a discriminação e o preconceito – aberto ou velado – ainda estão presentes e oprimem as pessoas, fazendo com que elas não se sintam acolhidas para serem quem são. Queremos mudar essa realidade! Para isso, a RHI Magnesita levanta a bandeira do respeito e reforça a importância de combatermos o preconceito e promovermos a inclusão dentro e fora da nossa empresa. Para nos ajudar nessa jornada e com o objetivo de ampliar a conscientização e promover a mudança de comportamento, durante o mês compartilhamos exemplos de termos e frases que devem ser eliminados do nosso dia a dia por terem conotação ofensiva. E para encerrarmos as ações em apoio à causa LGBTI , realizaremos hoje, para todos os nossos colaboradores da América do Sul, a palestra “Construindo lugares cada vez mais seguros”, que aborda temas como segurança psicológica, letramento sobre a comunidade LGBTI e cultura de inclusão. Queremos que todos possam celebrar, todos os dias, o orgulho de ser quem são! #OrgulhoLGBTI #RHIMagnesita #DiversidadeInclusão

We are thrilled to share insights from the #keynote delivered by our Chief Customer Officer, Gustavo Franco, at the SAP for Process Industries and Natural Resources Conference in Vienna last week. In his speech, titled "From Strategy Bottleneck to Business Transformation", Gustavo talked about how RHI Magnesita’s current #transformation journey is not just about technology, but about redefining business processes and fostering a culture of #innovation and #efficiency. The results? Enhanced operational excellence, improved supply chain resilience, and a more agile response to market demands. The success of this strategy hinges on seamless data and process integration across regions and functions – a complete overhaul of RHI Magnesita’s IT system and digital landscape being indispensable to achieve this. At the core of this lies SAP S4/HANA, with a powerful two-tier architecture driving synergistic integration, enabling RHI Magnesita to tackle market volatility with agility. #DigitalTransformation #SAP #RHIMagnesita #BusinessTransformation
