Abstract

The luxury of having excellent raw materials to achieve stable, high productivity operations is history. More and more, steel companies are faced with wider varieties of raw material qualities and need to focus on robust operational practices to remain competitive. The main challenge will be to accommodate high slag volumes (e.g. above 325 kg/tHM) while achieving sufficiently high productivity (e.g. above 2.75 tHM/m3WV.24hr) at high rates of fuel injection (coal or natural gas). With a wide reference base for Blast Furnace technology as well as operational assistance, Danieli Corus offers service packages based on an integrated approach focusing on the entire value chain in Blast Furnace Ironmaking, ranging from raw materials up to the BOF plant. This approach incorporates not only the “know how”, but also the “know why” of the Blast Furnace process. This article discusses the benefits of these services for the Blast Furnace Operator in terms of Technology, Economy and Operations.
