ELC

The quicklime line with low carbon content. With a high CaO concentration, outstanding reactivity and minimal impurities, it is the ideal choice for the production of low-carbon and stainless steels.

Quicklime for high-quality steels

Request more information

The ELC line has been specifically developed for the production of low-carbon and stainless steels. Thanks to our innovative firing method and the use of biomass as fuel, we produce lime with unique characteristics: extremely low CO₂ content, high reactivity and exceptional purity.

The high available CaO content, combined with elevated reactivity, ensures superior performance throughout the steelmaking process. The consistent quality of our raw materials, carefully selected and controlled, guarantees a final product that meets the most stringent requirements of today’s steel industry, where every element must contribute to delivering an excellent end result.

Certified sustainability with EPD declaration

Our commitment to environmental sustainability is officially certified through our Environmental Product Declaration (EPD). This document, based on a rigorous Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), offers a transparent and scientific evaluation of our products’ environmental footprint.

Technology and innovation in lime for the steel industry

Our production process relies on PFRK (Parallel Flow Regenerative Kilns), powered by biomass. The soft burning of limestone at controlled temperatures of up to 1,100 °C generates a highly porous structure with a large specific surface area. This process, combined with the purity of the raw material, results in a product with chemical and physical properties that are optimal for even the most demanding metallurgical applications.
