Case Study: ArcelorMittal Dofasco achieves greater coke oven gas cooling efficiency with Datacor Fathom

ArcelorMittal Dofasco improves coke oven gas cooling in a $6M project with Datacor

ArcelorMittal Dofasco, a major steel producer, needed to improve the efficiency of its coke oven gas cooling system at its Hamilton plant. The challenge was to lower gas temperatures to enhance the cleaning process, improve by-product quality, and reduce maintenance. The company partnered with vendor Datacor, utilizing their AFT Fathom pipe flow modeling software to design the necessary improvements.

Using Datacor's AFT Fathom software, a piping specialist was able to validate the new system's piping layout, flow rates, and equipment requirements. This allowed the team to confidently purchase the correct components. The solution provided by Datacor supported a $6 million capital project that is expected to increase operational efficiency, extend equipment life, and reduce maintenance time.
