Operational application of numerical modelling for evaluation of hearth condition over a blast furnace campaign: Whyalla No. 2 Blast Furnace 4th campaign
Abstract:The hearth status varies accordingly with individual blast furnace (BF) conditions so that the variation of measured hearth refractory temperature is unique. Over the course of a long BF campaign (typically 15-20 years), refractory temperature in the same furnace can also present different trends. This is certainly the case for Whyalla's No. 2 Blast Furnace (W2BF) as various significant operational events occurred during its 4th campaign starting from 2004. To understand hearth condition throughout the whole W… Show more
