Enhanced blast furnace operation and service life by improved monitoring and control of the hearth and uniformity

Objective

The evaluation of various blast furnace measurement data will be improved, to enhance life, monitoring and control of hearth and uniformity. Therefore a set of novel and ingenious techniques will be developed, verified and applied. Blast furnace stability, more uniform metal quality and a lower fuel rate will be achieved by the investigation of symmetric operation.

Combined with the analysis of the blast furnace hearth and dead man, this will lead to a protection of the refractory lining, the prolongation of the blast furnace's life and optimised tapping techniques. Productivity, safety, security and environmental aspects will be raised additionally.
