Objective Maintaining and extending the safe working life of blast furnace linings is a major factor in prolonging productive asset life and maximising the recovery of capital investment by operators of integrated works. This project will attempt to develop a clearer understanding of conditions within the furnace hearth, focusing on this critical area of the BF lining. Knowledge of liquid motion in the hearth and the position of the 'furnace' dead-man are important factors in prolonging the life of hearth refractories and will be used to improve process control.
