In order to achieve target alloy levels it is critical to consistently first reduce slag oxides to predefined low levels. ESM Group Inc. can assist in this process through the application of its products and know how. Our metallurgical staff and field service team will perform initial slag analysis and work with your operating managers to develop reliable and repeatable operating procedures coupled with a slag conditioner addition program which includes reducing agents to compliment the practice. By using this approach, ESM Group Inc. has gained the respect of the steelmaking fraternity and made us a significant supplier of lime based slag conditioners to the North American Steel industry. We custom blend a variety of fluxes and reducing agents formulated by our metallurgical staff. Pioneering bulk delivery of sized granular slag conditioners to the largest and most successful North American steelmakers using in-house handling experience, is responsible for catapulting ESM Group Inc. to “major player” status.
