Model-based Slopping Detection in a Top-blown Steel Converter
نویسندگان
چکیده
The most common steel-making process in the world is the Lintz-Donawitz converter. During operation, a slag foam is created to improve the converter performance. Problems arise when the foam level exceeds the height of the vessel and overflows, causing metal loss, process disruption and environmental pollution. The goal of this study is to design a model-based algorithm exploiting real-time process data to give an early warning to the operator, before the slopping is visible, so that appropriate actions can be taken. The algorithm was tested on data from the LD process at SSAB Oxelösund and found to work well.

Fluid Dynamics in a Copper Converter: an Investigation on Mixing Phenomena in an Experimental Model
In this study, the mixing phenomena and fluid dynamics in a copper converter have been experimentally investigated using a physical model. The physical model is a 1:5 horizontal tank made of Plexiglas. The mixing phenomena have been characterized by experimentally measuring the mixing time using a tracer dispersion technique. Moreover, the effects of the air flow rate and lance submergence on t...

The negative influences of slopping in a BOF are pollution to the environment. They give lower yield and cause equipment damage. The prediction of these phenomena is based on information processing from the measuring microphone. The change of frequency in certain range is done by a signal for the prediction of slopping. In this paper two methods for prediction of slopping are described. The fir...

متن کاملApplicability of damage indices for detection of cracking in steel moment connections
Analytical detection of cracking in connections of steel moment resisting frames using simple damage indices is important since these cracks are not visible unless the connections are uncovered. In this paper, applicability of three cumulative damage indices for detection of cracking in a cover plate welded moment connection is investigated. The damage indices considered in this study are based...
