Objective
Blast furnace performance is essentially determined by a proper gas distribution control. In daily practice there are used measuring devices that furnish radial furnace information, like e.g. radar profile measurement and in burden temperature. In the present project a mathematical model will be established to calculate gas distribution all over the lump zone using the just mentioned measurements for model fitting. Moreover extra measurements like He-tracing and multi-point vertical probing (MPVP) will be carried out in order to get information on burden permeability (He-tracing) and on the thermal and chemical profiles in the shaft, and hopefully on cohesive zone characteristics. All the measurements will be used for model fitting. The model will then be used for the prediction of charging programs with reference to a desired gas distribution in the blast furnace.
