Abstract

One of the BF-owner’s important requirements is the BF-hearth lining life time extension up to 20 years or more, without any intermediate repairs. A number of different hearth lining designs were developed in the last decades. Some well experienced and successful hearth lining technologies were presented. The main targets of this paper are explanations of excellent hearth lining life times as well as good operation experiences. Further on, the paper shows that the goal to reach the main targets is depending on a number of different boundary conditions. The most important boundary conditions to extend the hearth lining life campaign will be illuminated and explained with the assistance of different lining design examples.
