Abstract
The objective of the SULA-programme has been to improve the energy-efficiency of the steel and base metals industry in Finland. The participants of the research work were: Helsinki University of Technology, Aabo Akademi, University of Oulu and The Technical Research Centre of Finland, as well as the branch companies Dalsbruk Oy Ab (Fundia), Imatra Steel Oy Ab, Outokumpu Oy and Rautaruukki Oy. The following processes have served as research objects: production of iron and steel, production of ferrochromium and stainless steel, production of copper and nickel, pyrometallurgical production of zinc, strip casting of steel, rolling and heat treatment of steel, application of knowledge based technology and mathematical modelling in energy management and new methods for measuring the temperature. The programme started at the beginning of the year 1988 and lasted to the end of the year 1992, some projects continued until the middle of the year 1993. Several projects aimed at improving the energy efficiency of current processes. As far as the results of the research can be calculated, the savings per annum are estimated to be 800-1000 TJ. The most ambitious projects aim at creating new production processes. The strip casting project and the project for pyrometallurgical zinc production
