A system of proprietary melt chemistry programs designed for the integration of scrap purchasing and loading based on chemistry, availability, and price. This sophisticated model enables Tube City IMS to create maximum value for customers through scrap mix determination designed to improve the steel maker's bottom line providing the lowest cost liquid steel.
 
Recognizing the constraints presented by secondary grades of scrap, the program requires a comprehensive metallurgical analysis focused on evaluating opportunities for substitute grades of scrap and the potential for utilization of secondary grades. Although less expensive grades of scrap generally have higher conversion costs, the OptiMiser/GenBlend+® model accounts for all factors when determining the "lowest cost."
 
This program is proven to provide maximum savings opportunities on an overall and individual heat basis. Tube City IMS dedicates extensive personnel to the rigorous analysis of the program guaranteeing immediate and phenomenal results upon implementation. The production of savings throughout all of the current contract installations highlights the program's design to flourish with increased utilization.
 
Steelmakers can now concentrate on what they do best - making and selling steel.
