SUSTAINTAP – Blast furnace sustained tapping practice

Blast furnace sustained tapping practice
Initial situation:
- Unknown position and voidage of the dead man.
- Uncertainty concerning liquid levels of iron and slag.
- Hearth wear calculated only in 2D sections.
- Influence of hearth flow on wear calculations.
Work topics in the project:
- Estimation of position and voidage of the dead man from operational data.
- Estimation of liquid levels from EMF data.
- Calculation of the hearth wear under consideration of the hearth flow and dead man properties.
Expected results
- Online models for liquid levels and dead man state.
- 3D hearth wear model.
- 3D hearth flow model as well as models of the iron – slag interface tilting and tap hole flow.
