Welding Rimming Steel

Hi all, looking for help with a dilemma I have. I’ve been asked to site weld a beam made of Rimming Steel, enclosed is the lab analysis from a sample i took.
The lab suggests adding aluminium to the weld pool to stop porosity and after looking and speaking to various technical guys I can’t get anyone to give me a straight answer of how to do it. The closest I’ve got is using E7018 rods but even still it’s a vague suggestion.
It’s not possible to take another sample before committing to the weld. The first sample was destroyed by testing.
I’d be most grateful of any advice,
Regards NikIMG_3894.jpeg
