Your goals:

• Monitoring and optimal control of gas flushing ladle treatments in secondary metallurgy
• Information on the amount of purge gas actually available for the metallurgical work in the ladle
• Monitoring of previously inaccessible process parameters in the ongoing process, e.g. in ladle furnaces or vacuum systems
• Rinsing efficiency evaluation to ensure and improve melt and end product quality

The BFI Flushing process monitoring supplies this new online control variable from an evaluation of the rinsing spot size on the bath surface:

• Online detection of the flushing spot (size and contour length),
• Determination of the intensity of the bath movement, the degree of slag coverage, the function of the bottom flushers and the temperature loss of the melt,
•  Combination of the innovative online measured variables with a dynamic process model for optimized process management (minimization of the treatment time, control of the flushing gas flow, avoidance of slag ejection),
• detection of splashes in the depressurization phase of the RH system,
• Increase in process reliability and energy savings.
