Mittal Steel East Chicago, IN

2/06 – 2/08 Process Engineer (Electric Arc Furnace/ Billet Caster)

In charge of quality audits and trial sampling within the steelmaking facilities.

Also worked on heat and material balances in the electric furnace.

Monitored work instructions and casting practices to comply with quality standards.

Assisted in setting up the Leaded Steel Project Trial.

The project entailed using process analysis, engineering, mass balances for material and heat, statistics, SPC, and chemistry. The project scope was to inject lead into the tundish. Then the steel would be cast into billets that 6”x6”x40’. Then lab analysis would be done on the billets from each strand to check for dispersion of lead in the billet using microscope.

Assisted in the setup and trial of new concast mold designed to increase casting speed and improve quality. The new mold was installed on one strand and used only on low carbon steel to see if we could run at a higher rate of speed. On some grades there were inclusions which caused breakouts at higher speeds on old molds.

All standards used in setting up tests were done to ASTM standards.

2004-2005 USAir Express Pittsburgh International Airport (Temporary)

Customer Service Agent

1989 to 2003 Wheeling Pittsburgh Steel Corporation Mingo Jct., OH

Steel-Making Metallurgical Process Engineer (2001-2003)

Responsibilities were to monitor BOF practices, trim-station practices, casting practices and inspection of slabs coming off caster.

Supervised, trained and gave daily assigned work to (2) chemists and (2) samplers, and managed a budget of $120K.

Developed computer program using SAS on Unix Mainframe and PCs, and assisted in converting to DCS System, increasing accuracy, efficiency, and accountability in analysis, record-keeping, and reporting.

Coke & Iron Process Engineer (1989-2001)

Managed process engineering for (3) facilities with 2.5K employees consisting of

Coke Plant with (2) blast furnaces pushing 6K tons of coke daily with hot metal production of 6.5K daily

The Coke handling Plant receiving 10-15 barges of 1,500 tons of coal each, every 7-10 days

SUMMARY

Managed the Coke Plant Laboratory, ensuring quality production, EPA regulatory compliance, safety, and customer satisfaction through:

- Coke Oven Gas Analysis – analyzing gas hydrocarbon content

- Light Oil Sampling – primarily testing for benzene

- Desulphurization Treatment Plants – testing and treating wastewater before discharge into river

- Coal / Gas Analysis – meeting customer specifications, resulting in zero fines

Wrote Sinter Plant Operations Program, establishing specifications and processes to ensure quality in rework materials for all steel-making processes, including speed and quantity of ore and coke braize required.

Also worked on handling all material and heat balances for sinter plant.

Resume of: Charles J. Draus, Jr. Page 4

Also handled part of environmental for sinter plant. This entailed handling scale from rolling mill that might have oil mixed in from leaks on mill. This can cause a blue plume which can be traced using an opacity meter.

Facilitated the installation of the gas blanketing system to reduce and recycle benzene emissions at our Coke Plant, contributing to the reduction of (11) chemical’s emissions, reaching 85% reduction in 1995. The forecasted goal was 50%.

Introduced an Automated Coke Sampler, improving safety and achieving more representative sampling in a (24) hour turn producing fewer blast furnace deviations, and improving the overall quality.

Monitored the process for unloading barges, and instituted safety procedures requiring safety vests, achieving “0” injuries for a span of (5) years.

Conducted weekly QS-9000 audits, and notified plant and department managers of problems in Coke Plants, Blast Furnace, and Steelmaking areas, improving quality and safety.
