| Abstract Scope |
In today’s competitive environment, the supervision and optimization of metallurgical production processes is of major importance. "TMT - Tapping Measuring Technology" proposes a vast portfolio of probes adapted to the needs of Blast Furnace process control and is also developing completely new probes, adapted to the specific needs of other industries.
Modern probes and process measurement systems assess the specific operation condition of a furnace and provide detailed process insight. Productivity, efficiency and even the lifetime of a furnace can be significantly improved by collecting, interpreting, and acting upon such process data correctly.
This paper provides an overview of established blast furnace measurement systems and suggests the application of similar probes to other metallurgical furnaces. The presented range of probes includes traditional technologies, which are proven since several decades as well as novel technologies based on innovative measuring methods, allowing to assess gas temperature distributions and charging profiles. |
