Abstract Scope |
Decision-making to tap is often based on experience and mass balance calculations. However better methods are available to optimize the tapping efficiency, making sure tapping occurs at the best moment with minimum losses.
Metal tapping should occur at a precise moment when the correct amount is available in the furnace and before overfilling. This moment can be difficult to determine without proper level monitoring.
Even for slag tapping, the right timing is difficult to assess and even worse, it often leads to metal value losses and represents a safety hazard.
RHI Magnesita offers sensor technologies to help you control levels and detect metal losses. These are used for fact-based decision making ensuring optimized tapping procedures.
The paper will describe and discuss the technologies, as well as how to implement them in the furnace operation and what benefits can be achieved. |
