Abstract

The integrated plants suffer the need to adapt their processes to contribute to carbon reductions. One option of many BOF converters is the replacement of hot metal with scrap. Building on theories from the 80s and using modern computational mathematical simulation resources, Lumar developed an innovative lance tip with afterburner on the face. Patented product with the differential of being a lance with three tubes and supersonic post combustion nozzles. The results show an average increase scrap percentage, shorter blowing time and integrity of the lance conditions.
