THERMAL ENERGY MANAGEMENT OF BLAST FURNACE PLANT

Methods of Mathematical Modeling for Evaluation of Energy Management of Blast-furnace Plant

M. Szega, W. Stanek Silesian University of Technology, Gliwice, Poland L. Blacha Silesian University of Technology, Katowice, Poland The reduction of energy consumption in the blast furnace is still the subject of investigations using mathematical modelling of a blast furnace plant. Theoretical-empirical hybrid models of a blast furnace and its equipment have been presented. This model is built...

Performance Analysis of a Blast Furnace at Bhilai Steel Plant

The present paper reports a statistical analysis of the performance of the blast furnace number X at the Bhilai Steel Plant over a period of sixteen years with the special reference to the quality and consumption of sinter . The variation in basicity and consumption of sinter, for the blast furnace data considered , is wide. The range of data covers high level to almost nil amount of raw limest...

Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag

1. Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBFS) is a by product of the steel industry. Blast furnace slag is defined as “the non-metallic product consisting essentially of calcium silicates and other bases that is developed in a molten condition simultaneously with iron in a blast furnace.” [1] In the production of iron, blast furnaces are loaded with iron o...

Energy Management of a Chilled Water Plant Using Thermal Storage

This paper illustrates a project implemented in a major IBM plant in Canada using a TES system integrated with other technologies to optimize the chilled water production. The implementation of the Novanergy system (thermal storage with phase change material) has given important peak load reductions as well as significant reduction in the energy consumption and in the environmental impact of th...
