Control by camera of the EAF operations in airtight conditions

Objective

The aim of this project is to develop a visualisation tool that is able to control an electric arc furnace working in airtight conditions - defined as closing the slag door and injecting oxygen and carbon through wall-mounted injectors. The system will assist the operator in assessing the optimal time for charging the second basket and to detect un-melted scrap and skulls on the walls during the flat bath phase.

A dedicated burner/ endoscope/ camera module and processing package will be industrialised in two industrial furnaces (DC and AC). A previous ECSC project has made preliminary use of an infrared camera combined with an endoscope and shown that this arrangement is able to view into an EAF through flames and dust; the device could be located in an EAF burner.
