Data collecting
Get the most efficient blast furnace process
TMT probes make it possible to collect data from your blast furnace, which can be used for process improvement. It will give you the possibility to continuously reduce your operational expenses and optimize your furnace process.
TMT 3D Topscan™
Real 3D burden surface monitoring combined with a sophisticated 3D Layer Model
Furnoscope™
Visual validation of the BF-process, the BF top cone and the installed equipment
Mechanical Stockline Detector
Discontinuous measurement by mechanical means of burden level and burden descent rate at one single point of the burden surface
Radar Stockline Detectors
Continuous measuring by radar technology of burden level and possible calculation of descent speed at one single point of the burden surface
Impact Probe
Discontiuous detection of material falling curve changes by means of moveable probe installed at top of blast furnace
Fixed and Movable above Burden Probes
Continuous measurement of gas temperature above the burden and optional gas composition in combination with a TMT gas-conditioner and analyzer
In-Burden Probe
Discontinuous measurement of gas temperature and gas composition (CO, CO2 and H2; N2 calculated) by means of moveable probe
Scanning Probe
Discontinuous detection of the burden distribution and visualization of the burden layers
TMT 3D Topscan™
- Live 3D burden surface monitoring
- Detection of all asymmetries
- 3D layer model
- Areal burden descent speed
- No parts penetrating into top cone area
- Avoids interference with burden charging
- Fast and continous (24/7) measurement
- Highest resolution
- Maintenance possible with furnace on blast
- Better understanding of process leading to coke savings
- Early detection of anomalies avoiding costly process disturbances
TMT SOMA®
- 2D gas temperature measurement covering the whole burden surface
- Position of gas channel
- Balance between wall and centre flux
- Improved process feedback through visualization of 2D gas temperature distribution in the entire top cone for process optimization and reduction of coke consumption
- Trending of gas channel positions for immediate process corrections
- Detection of abnormal process behaviour
- Longer lifetime and lower maintenance requirements than conventional above burden probes
