Resumo

In view of the limitation of a two-converter and a single gas exhaust system layout, the conventional BOF Shop operation at Compañía Siderúrgica Huachipato (CSH) considers the processing of steel with one operating converter while a second vessel is laid off for repair or in standby mode. With an alternating converter scheme, increased production continuity is achieved both by minimizing repair work and converter lining replacement times and maximizing the alternated converter operation. Production priority is given to the converter with a longer refractory life.
