Edwards has won an order worth more than GBP200,000 for its steel degassing system in India.

It is being used at Shyam Forgings Pvt in New Delhi to perform Vacuum Oxygen Decarburising (VOD) in a production environment and offers potential energy cost savings of more than 90 per cent over traditional steam ejector systems, the company said.

The single steel degassing module is being used to run the Vacuum Degassing (VD) and VOD processes to produce large degassed and decarburised castings of up to 30 tons for Shyam Forging's customers.

The customers then use the castings to produce large machinery components for power generation and industrial markets across Asia.

Both ultra-low carbon steels (less than 0.02 per cent carbon by weight) and low-carbon stainless steels (less than 0.02 per cent) are processed through the VOD system in up to 13 ton melts for subsequent casing and machining at customers' facilities.

Edwards' dry pumping technology enables users to produce higher quality products with reduced operating/energy costs.

At the same time, customers are able to improve their environmental impact and carbon footprint through reducing CO2 emissions, water effluent and energy use.
