In this project, qoncept delivered engineering services for the extension of a hydrogen plasma pilot plant. The scope involved the design of a blind flange with an integrated probe and temperature sampling manipulator, as well as the design of a lateral charging system for fine-grained bulk material. Both concepts were developed with close attention to the specific process requirements of hydrogen plasma smelting reduction, where hydrogen is used as the reducing agent for iron oxides. The documentation included all 2D drawings, 3D models, and technical descriptions, providing a solid foundation for subsequent project phases and implementation.

For this project, qoncept performed the basic engineering for a new metallurgical application that enables the selective oxidation of steel melts. The study included complete process and layout designs for an integrated system that combines all the necessary operations. The engineering approach followed a structured, three-phase methodology, from defining the process and developing flow diagrams to evaluating the layout and detailing all technical and infrastructural requirements. Static production planning and simulation models were applied to analyze logistics, throughput, and process efficiency under different operational scenarios. The outcome included process descriptions, flow diagrams, equipment and automation specifications, layout drawings, and a preliminary execution schedule. This documentation provides the technical and methodological foundation for subsequent detail engineering and the future realization of the new metallurgical plant.

In this project, qoncept performed an engineering study to evaluate the effects of increasing the ladle weight on a ladle turret. The work focused on verifying overall stability with respect to the foundation, anchoring, and slewing bearing. Structural calculations were carried out to determine whether the turret could safely accommodate the higher load conditions. The study provided a reliable basis for further decision-making regarding potential design modifications and operational safety, ensuring that the turret’s load-bearing capacity was clearly assessed under the new requirements.

In this project, qoncept supported a German foundry in achieving two strategic goals: cost savings through raw material optimization and the digital replacement of manual stock yard management.

The solution is based on the qontrol framework and combines two dedicated applications. The qontrol maps charge optimization application calculates the cost-optimized scrap mix for each heat, ensuring smarter raw material use, improved energy efficiency, and substantial cost savings. In parallel, the stock yard management application replaces manual workflows with a structured digital system for managing storage locations and material movements, creating transparency and reliability across the supply chain.

Seamlessly integrated into the customer’s IT landscape, the system provides operators with clear digital charge instructions and management with detailed reporting tools. This project highlights how digitalization not only unlocks measurable cost advantages but also strengthens process reliability, transparency, and resource efficiency.
