Program Overview
This expert-led program on alternative carbon integration is designed for blast furnace operations and process professionals in steel manufacturing environments. It addresses furnace instability, productivity loss, and control challenges caused by changes in carbon input characteristics and operating behaviour. Participants will gain the ability to integrate alternative carbon materials while protecting furnace stability, productivity, and hot metal consistency. The program uses expert-led blast furnace operating scenarios and control trade-off analysis to ensure practical application.
Features
- Evaluate the operational impact of alternative carbon inputs
- Maintain permeability, thermal balance, and raceway stability
- Adjust burdening and injection practices without destabilising the furnace
- Detect early warning signals of instability caused by input variability
- Balance productivity, fuel rate, and furnace campaign protection
Target audiences
- Blast Furnace Managers
- Ironmaking Process Engineers
- Production Leads
