The initial reaction at the beginning of the melting process the volatiles in the scrap (paint, greased and oils) are flashing off and producing the flames and smoke. This slowly dissipates over 10-15 minutes. What you see is the controlled reaction of that process which is quite normal. I worked around these arc furnaces for 35 years and saw this every day.

Worked in a steel mill around three electric arc furnaces and this is normal operation one load of scrap was melted at a time until all three were melted and the furnace tapped. It used three large electrified carbon rods that were lowered into the scrap like giant welding rods.As for all the smoke that was normal too except the smoke and dirt collection system isn't in place yet like a giant vacuum cleaner it took most of the dirty smoke to a bag house to be cleaned while the heavier stuff went right below the furnace to be clean out everyday. Some new furnaces now use six rods to melt the scrap with oxygen injected to melt faster yet.

This is normal with the flames, but they don’t have the “bag house “ extraction system on. If the system was on, most of the smoke would disappear. There is also a water cooled ductwork that is not closed to the furnace roof. The bag house collects all the dangerous smoke particles. Also, if you look to the left, you can see a large enclosure that slides too the right when operating normal, and no smoke or flame can be seen, and is used also for noise reduction.

Normally the exhausters and baghouse are online all during the melting process. It appears the exhaust duct isn't in position to capture the smoike from the furnace 4th hole elbow in this video. This may be because they are testing the transformer and arc controls. Even with the exhaust system and baghouse on line the 4th hole ductwork can't handle it all in the initial minutes of the melt. The flames and smoke are captured by a large duct in the roof of the building, and huge exhaust fans pull it out and into the baghouse. Where I worked we tapped 180T heats every 40-45 miunutes in a furnace with a 120MVA transformer. We had had 3 huge exhaust fans pulling over 1 million cfm combined off the furnace and building roof and through the baghouse. About 2% of the scrap ends up as baghouse dust, consisting mostly of iron oxide and lime dust, with some zinc and lead particulate also.

Funny thing, this sort of industry (metal foundries) are a big reason why solar wind and to a lesser extent hydro cant be the only things powering the grid. The power is too unstable for foundries to operate how they need to. But.... [hopping on my high horse] ....thats why I personally advocate for Small Modular (nuclear) Reactors. Instead of a large vessel just begging to go wrong somehow, a grid can be propped up by fleets of distributed SMRs. A single SMR getting squirrely can easily shutdown and self cool for days without an external cooling loop (as in worst case scenario, and Im pretty sure we can get coolant to any malfunctioning 300kw reactors the size of semi trailers within days of an event a lot easier and quicker than we can figure out how to get a shit ton of water into a large gigawatt reactor vessel about to go off big time style-y, if its even random water coolant compatible....). Im not saying go all nuclear either, we need the 'greener' energy sources to work in harmony. Absolutely every roof needs solar panels. Especially warehouses and malls. Why not? Might as well harvest that energy thats otherwise making the building hot causing the building to use more power for its AC to cool it down because its being baked by the sun and full of little 200w heaters we call humans. Hell, put the panels up on 5' stands. Youd avoid having to make weird geometry considerations, ie cover the entire roof area, and the roof will not only be shaded but a natural draft will develop keeping the roof surface cooler, AND the AC units will be in the shade instead of baking under the sun so the condenser stage will be more efficient! Not everywhere has the land topography for wind (I live between two passes, we have so much wind its rare to see more than half the field of turbines turning), but we can transmit power a long ways. Plus there is always storage (as silly as tying a bunch of old 18650s together sounds, it is an idea, and can address e-waste in the form of lithium batteries if you widen the applicable battery type....but also LiFEPO4 storage is becoming more cost effective). And not just chemical storage, hydro storage. If you have the topology for a hydro battery (a basin up high piped to a basin down low) you can run wind and solar mainly, if the grid power sags pop the valves on the hydro battery to prop the grid up while the SMR fleet comes out of its idle state, then once its active and taking the load pump the water back up the hill by running the SMRs a little more than the grid needs (and recharging chemical storage if utilized). All the while the industries that rely on constant power can have SMRs on site. Easy peasy. The ONLY issue with nuclear is large reactors that in the rare event they have an episode it can be devastating (even though fukushima directly killed only one person, and TMI was a near miniscule release which ultimately was due to accountants using cheaper valves in the design which were ran too close to their failure point temperature (and the control and indicator issues as well....)). Gigawatt plants are a horrible idea. A few tens or hundreds of kilowatt units dotted throughout the city? That sounds fine to me.... I mean, Id love to have a 20KW unit for under my drive way if the Nuclear Regulatory Commission would untwist their panties.....

Nothing abnormal there, and there is no "internal explosion", other than the incredibly huge amount of power being put through the graphite electrode columns as they create an arc with the scrap iron and steel in the furnace.. The furnace is 3-phase AC, meaning there are three columns of electrodes that come down and strike an arc on the scrap steel and iron. Assuming the electrodes are 24 inches in diameter(600mm), the power input is probably 400-600 volts, and probably on the order of 50,000 to 70,000 amps per phase or "column" of graphite electrodes. Outside of China, about 50%(more-or-less) of the world's steel is made in an electric arc furnace. The amount of steel made in China via electric arc furnaces is extremely low compared to the rest of the world.

Any steelmakers here think that they might be remelting a fully-skulled furnace? The electrodes descent quite a way into the furnace and initial arc strike sounds like there's hot liquid underneath, but the sound doesn't stay smooth (no slag foaming, at least). That said, I've got no idea what's wrong with the fume extraction system. Maybe it's furnace commissioning? All the panel hoses look very shiny and new and the original colour of the paint can still be made out.

If you think this looks bad wait till you see a carbon boil or when it's time to tap the heat. The first time I saw melt shop operations I thought those guys were crazy getting that close to that kind of heat, one week later I was doing that same job. Average temp of a heat going to the casters was 1600 Celsius and you work 12 hour shifts.
