Instruments and Solution for Iron & Steel Industry

Challenges in the iron & steel plant

To technology in iron & steel industry is continuously improved to obtain the best possible performance. The improved plant performance gives rise to the higher quality improvement and lower cost, and simultaneously environmental friendly plant operation.

The control systems and field instruments are working at the various processes of the iron and steel plant. The process of iron and steel plant is starting from Sinter plant, Coke oven etc, and the blast furnace, iron pre-treatment are following. The products are widely used at furnace control and utilities in important processes (such as continuous casting machine (CCM)) in down stream of iron / steel making process.

Improve combustion efficiency and product quality

The temperature of the hot blast used in blast furnace has been increasing every year and currently stands at around 1300°C. Under such circumstances efficient operation is achieved by such measures as increasing the calorie value of fuel gas and recovering waste heat from gas. To further improve combustion efficiency and save energy, measurement of the oxygen concentration in exhaust gases is required.

A furnaces for heating slabs needs to be operated under low-oxygen conditions at high temperatures of 1000°C and above to prevent oxidation of the steel. The measurement of oxygen concentration in the furnace is essential.

Gas Calorimeter Key Technology

Burner Unit

The sample gas burns inside the burner unit and a thermocouple detects the burning temperature increase. The air is introduced from the air inlet and divided to the primary, secondary and tertiary air. The primary and secondary ones are for burning the sample gas and the tertiary is for diluting and stirring the exhaust gas. The sample gas is mixed with the primary air (In case of the low calorie gas, the primary air is throttled), and burnt completely by the secondary air. Then, the combustion temperature generates, and burnt gas is promptly diluted and stirred by the tertiary air. Finally the gas is exhausted out from the top of the detector.

The increased temperature is measured with the difference of the electromotive force between the cold junction point (located at the air inlet) and the hot junction point (inside the mixed diluted exhaust gas). The heating wire wound the burner tip is used for both ignition and preheating (In case of low calorie gas).
