Improved atmosphere control for product quality and combustion efficiency in reheating furnaces

Objective

In order to improve the surface quality of steel products and to achieve high-energy savings in hot rolling plants, it is necessary to control the atmosphere in each zone inside the reheating furnaces reliably. The aim of the planned research project is to develop an improved control system for the air-fuel ratio in each zone using combustion gas analysis and model- supported process control. Real-time determination of physical characteristics is also needed to adjust the global air-fuel-ratio of furnaces. A feed-forward strategy for improved control shall be developed. Quasi-simultaneous combustion gas analysis at multiple locations inside the furnace shall be installed. Combustion gas analysis shall be introduced step-by-step to improve control of the air-fuel ratio.
