Contemporary blast furnace top charging practices

摘要

New approaches in blast furnace top charging philosophy and the use of a new charging model as a modern tool for predicting and confirming blastfurnace behaviour are discussed. Together with the latest improvements of the bell-less top charging system - these subjects open the way to matching today's requirements to achieve the best ironmaking performance in a more complex and demanding operating environment. The particular success in operating blast furnace 5A at ArcelorMittal Eisenhuttenstadt GmbH serves as an according example.
