Industrial demonstration of hot gas injection at the blast furnace

Objective

This proposal is part of the ULCOS Program and is focused on carbon saving at the blast furnace with an objective of 25%. It aims at testing at a real blast furnace (EKO Stahl BF1) nitrogen-free operation and hot reducing gas injection into the shaft.

The objectives are:
- optimise the gas flow rate injected at the wall and its distribution inside the shaft
- assess the furnace behaviour under these conditions (thermal control, raceway formation, cohesive zone, pressure field, hearth, coke quality damages)
- assess the productivity increase of nitrogen-free operation
- demonstrate high rates of natural gas at the blast furnace.
