The injection of ultrahigh rates of reducing gases into a modern blast furnace

Objectif

In the pilot/demonstration project the technology of the injection of reducing gas into the blast furnace is developed and injection rates are maximised. The goal is to achieve a specific injection rate of 330 Nm³/tHm reducing gas, which is an increase of 20% when compared to the injection rate of 260 Nm³/tHm for natural gas as state-of-the-art. The main emphasis in this project lies on the use of the by-product gases from the BOF process and coke production. They shall substitute alternative reducing agents, which are purchased from outside sources. The work program in this multi-partner/multi-national project focuses on the development, design and installation of a pilot plant for injecting 25,000 Nm³/h BOF gas and coke oven gas into the blast furnace 5 at VASL. The influence of ultrahigh injection rate of reducing gas on the output an consumption figures of the blast furnace will be investigated.
