Objectif Slag splashing as a means of extending vessel-lining life was first implemented on BOS vessels. Since its introduction, lining performance has dramatically improved. At the same time, it has been proved impossible to maintain the bottom stirring systems in operation beyond about 2000 heats. The project aims to improve BOS steelmaking operations and achieve consistent performance, throughout a campaign, by extending the availability of bath stirring to match the vessel life. This will be extended by practices such as slag splashing and by linking blowing strategies and lance designs to vessel shape. This will be attained by: identifying the criteria that link vessel geometry to blowing practice to assist in achieving consistent end point and yield; by making recommendations on lance design and slag splashing procedures; by increasing life of tuyere blocks to ensure that bottom stirring is available throughout the vessel campaign life.
