Radio wave interferometer technique for BOF slag control

Project Information

Grant agreement ID: 7210-CB-817

Project closed

Start date 1 July 1996

End date 31 December 1999

Funded under

• Medium-term guidelines for the ECSC steel RTD programme of research and pilot/demonstration projects, 1996-2002

Total cost € 729 500,00

EU contribution € 437 700,00

Coordinated by

British Steel plc
United Kingdom

Objective

The aim of the project is to use radio-wave interferometry to determine the BOF slag and metal heights in both a quiescent and a blowing BOS convertor. The hydrodynamics of the slag/metal emulsion and 1, 2 and possibly 3D representations of slag and metal movements during the blowing phase will be made. Process factors such as vessel shape, lance movements, bath agitation, flux/ore additions and fume generation will be considered.
