TATA TATA STEEL Continuous Monitoring System For Gas Flow and Surface of Charged Material inside Blast Furnaces The tides are changing You are now in an increasingly competitive world The customers are ever so demanding The strictest quality specifications are in place You have to yield maximum production from ‘optimum consumption of material and energy Are you prepared for the future? Blast furnace top gas flow distribution monitoring is used to continuously monitor, in real time, the blast furnace top gas flow & charged material behavior. Furnace Scope is able to observe charge and gas flow for uneven or irregular distribution so that the cause of the abnormality can be determined and appropriate remedial strategies be put in place. Furnace Scope has been designed for continuous visual observation of the whole blast furnace top interior and not for thermal pattern ‘monitoring,Furnacescope Furnace Scope monitors the gas flow at the furnace top, and observes the surface of ore or coke when theirtemperature exceeds the proper level 1. Furnace Scope provides the operator with an image of the above threshold temperature gas flow through ore and coke dust 2. Furnace Scope provides the operator with an image of the material surface when temperature ofthe chargeis at above threshold level 3. Furnace Scope also provides an image of low temperature objects asitis equipped with aCCD semiconductor with higher sensitivity at low temperature ciaiag Operator's confidence - Furnace operators can v Abnormal operation prediction and its visually observe the operating conditions within phenomenon the blastfurnaceallthe time ¥ Gasignition monitoring v Distribution control of ore and coke being chargedatthe top of blastfunace v_ Prevention of furnace wall damage ¥_ Operational management by modifying operating methods Automation Division ‘TATA STEEL Jamshedpur-831001 Ph: +91 9234531256 / 9204058066, Fax: +91 657-2422767 E-mail :bdv.automation@tatasteel.com Visit us at: wwwautomationtatasteel.com
