Burden Distribution Computer Simulation for Fairfield Works No.8 Blast Furnace

摘要

This work uses Computer Simulation Technology to describe the burden distribution process associated with the bell-less top charging system on Fairfield Works No.8 Blast Furnace. This computer simulation model is able to consider the effects of complicated geometric and operational factors, such as the shaft in-wall batter, stockline levels, non-uniform burden descent speed, and coke washout. Information used in this model was determined by on-site measurements. Implementation of this new tool has assisted the operators in improving furnace performance.
