OPERATION
P age |3
A blast furnace is a type of metallurgical furnace used for smelting of iron ores to producing generally iron . The earth crust contains about 5% iron. However,it is present as a compound mostly as iron oxide. Iron is extracted as metallic iron from the oxide ores of iron by reduction with a reducing agent. the principal agent that is used is a naturally occurring carbon in the form of coke or coal (pulverised coal). The most abundant oxide ores of iron is hematite (Fe2o3) and magnetite is used .but hematite is used mainly in our country iron oxide also contain oxide minerals of some other elements such as aluminium, silicon Mn and P. Sinter is also used in blast furnace. It is the prepared burden which is occurred by the sintering process .this is agglomeration process which utilises the fines of iron , fluxes and coke. 80 to 90 % of sinter is charged in our JNIL blast furnace.

PROCESS
The blast furnace process is based on counter current principle. The input and output are of modern blast furnace practice .the furnace is refractory lined and is filled with material from the stock rod level down to bottom. Solid raw material at room temperature or preheated furnace temp. At beginning the process are charged from the top of the furnace . Preheated air above 950 to 980 deg.C is blown through tuyer pipe inserted in to the furnace wall along with injection of pulverised coal. The highest temp. Of the furnace is at the level of tuyere. This heat is transferd from bottom to top. That result direct and indirect reaction occurred.

THE FURNACE INTERIOR IS BROADLY DIVIDED IN TO;- STACK, where wall slops outward going downwards. BELLY, the cylindrical portion below the stack. BOSH, below the belly and sloping inwards going downward. HEARTH, below the bosh and tuyere region and the cylindrical portion.
Stack : This zone extends from the stock line down to the metal level . it is the zone in which the burden is completely solid. The charge gets heated from 200 deg. C at the stock line level to nearly 1100 to 1200 deg. C by the line it descents to the bottom of the stack.
P age |9
Bosh : -The charge materials being to soften and fuse as they come down in to bottom of the stack. The next lower zone is called the bosh in which meeting of the burden, except that of core takes place. The gangue & flux combine to form two slag. TUYERE OR COMBUSTION ZONE:-By the time the charge descends in to the area near the tuyere , except the central column of coke , the entire change in molten . the oxygen of the blast burns coke to CO and several combustion zone. One in front of each tuyere, exist in the tuyere zone .thus, there is a runway or raceway. In front of each tuyere which is first horizontal and then smoothly changes it,s direction to vertical while expanding over the entire cross section of the furnace. In our furnace there are 16 tuyeres, No. Of tuyeres = Hearth dia. * 2 +2 COOLERS:-In our blast furnace having material of tuyeres are, 1 to 4 row 5 to 9 row 10 to 15 row HEARTH:-Although most of the coke burns at the tuyere level , small fraction descends even in to the hearth where it dissolve in the metal to its near saturation .the intir charge is molten and sends to stratify in to slag and metal layer in the hearth from where these are tapped separately. cast iron coolers Cu.

Blast furnace produce an effluent gas containing a significant proportion of carbon monoxide. Which could not be used for iron oxide reduction. The actual CO many vary around 20-30% nearly 900kcal/m3 . the quantity of gas produced depends upon the amount of fuel burnt. For one tone of coke burnt nearly 4000m3 of effluent gas may be produced. The effluent gas from the furnace cannot directly be used as a fuel since a substantial quantity of dust & wear in the equipment using the gas. The gas is therefore, clean before its use & in so doing the sensible heat of the gas is invariably lost. So here the chemical heat of the cleaned gas is utilized. In general cleaned is carried out in three stage_ 1. Coarse 2. Semi-fine 3. Fine cleaning There are following arrangement through which cleaning of the gas is carried out in the Gas Cleaninig Plant(G.C.P). The effluent gases from furnace are carried out of the furnace by large vertical pipes called up takes. Up takes are four in number. Two adjacent uptake are joined together to form a single duict & the two such ducts, thus formed, are connected to from only one duct which carriea the gas downwards into trhe duct catcher . the downcoming pipe or doct is called downcomer. A bleeder valve is a safety device which opens automatically or is opened ,to released extre pressure developed inside the furnace and thereby eliminate the danger of explosion. DUST CATCHER;The dust is contained in the gas by virtue of its velocity hence if the velocity is zero the dust particles will be eliminated from the gas.the state of zero velocity is achieved in the gas catcher by simply reversing the direction of the gas flow from vertically to vertically upward diection. The downcomer leads the gases into the dust catcher through a Vertical pipe that flares out and extends nearly to the bottom of the dust catcher. The gases comes
P a g e | 15
down vertically & suddenly changes its direction to vertically upwards since the outlet is located nearly at the top of dust catcher, The efficient of the dust catcher is usually upto 65%. VENTURY WASHER(1&2):It is a vertical unit with a construction where water is injected in the form of sprays to wet the gas moving downwards. The coarse cleaned gas from the dust catcher enters into the ventury washer-1, where water sprays at angle appoxemately 120 degree. Due to venture effect & the water sprays dust particle is settle down in the B.S.P 1. From venture-1 the cleaned & low pressure gas is fed to the venture washer-2. Where the same way water spray is done & the clear gas upto % is done. B.S.P(Bottom Seal Port):BSP is located near the bottom of venture washer-1 & cyclone separator, where the surry is accumulated & collected bottom of BSP. Cyclone Separator:From venture washer-2 the Blast furnace gas enter into cyclone separator and spun rapidly. The centrifugal force created by the circular flow throws the dust particles toward the wall of the cyclone. After striking the wall, these particles fall into a hopper located underneath. When the gas travel upward in the cyclone separator, strikes with mist eliminator and hence moister is gas is eliminated from the Blast furnace gas. SEPTUM VALVE:Septum valve is use to control the clean gases. Also septum valve is used to maintain the top pressure. Septum valve contain five valve 2 regulating valve(1 pneumatic+ 1 motorized) 2 shutt off valve(both are motorized) 1 valve is always open having a small diameter. FLARE STACK:Flare stack is a stack through which the blast furnace gas is fed into atmosphere.

INSTRUMENTATION

INSTRUMENTS IN AGLANCE AT JNIL BLAST FURNACE Instrumentation is used to measure many parameters (physical values). These parameters include: 1. Temperature 2. Pressure, either differential or static 3. 3. Flow 4. Level 5. Weight Thermocouple Theory : A thermocouple, shown in Figure 1, consists of two wires of dissimilar metals joined together at one end, called the measurement (hot) junction. The other end, where the wires are not joined, is connected to the signal conditioning circuitry traces, typically made of copper. This junction between the thermocouple metals and the copper traces is called the reference (cold) junction.
P a g e | 39
Figure 1. Thermocouple. The voltage produced at the reference junction depends on the temperatures at both the measurement junction and the reference junction. Since the thermocouple is a differential device rather than an absolute temperature measurement device, the reference junction temperature must be known to get an accurate absolute temperature reading. This process is known as reference junction compensation (cold junction compensation.) Thermocouples have become the industry-standard method for cost-effective measurement of a wide range of temperatures with reasonable accuracy. They are used in a variety of applications up to approximately +2500C in boilers, water heaters, ovens, and aircraft enginesto name just a few. The most popular thermocouple is the type K, consisting of Chromel and Alumel (trademarked nickel alloys containing chromium, and aluminum, manganese, and silicon, respectively), with a measurement range
Type K (Chromel / Alumel)
Type K is the 'general purpose' thermocouple. It is low cost and, owing to its popularity, it is available in a wide variety of probes. Thermocouples are available in the -200C to +1200C range. Sensitivity is approx 41uV/C. Use type K unless you have a good reason not to
Type S (Platinum / Rhodium)
Suited for high temperature measurements up to 1600C. Low sensitivity (10uV/vC) and high cost makes them unsuitable for general purpose use. Due to its high stability type S is used as the standard of calibration for the melting point of gold (1064.43C).
Type J (Iron / Constantan)
Limited range (-40 to +750C) makes type J less popular than type K. The main application is with old equipment that cannot accept 'modern' thermocouples. J types should not be used above 760C as an abrupt magnetic transformation will cause permanent decalibration.

Resistance Temperature Detectors or RTDs for short, are wire wound and thin film devices that measure temperature because of the physical principle of the positive temperature coefficient of electrical resistance of metals. The hotter they become, the larger or higher the value of their electrical resistance. They, in the case of Platinum known variously as PRTs and PRT100s, are the most popular RTD type, nearly linear over a wide range of temperatures and some small enough to have response times of a fraction of a second. They are among the most precise temperature sensors available with resolution and measurement uncertenties or 0.1 C or better possible in special desions. Usually they are provided encapsulated in probes for temperature sensing and measurement with an external indicator, controller or transmitter, or enclosed inside other devices where they measure temperature as a part of the device's function, such as a temperature controller or precision thermostat. The Advantages of RTDs The advantages of RTDs include stable output for long period of time, ease of recalibration and accurate readings over relatively narrow temperature spans. Their disadvantages, compared to the thermocouples, are: smaller overall temperature range, higher initial cost and less rugged in high vibration environments. They are active devices requiring an electrical current to produce a voltage drop across the sensor that can be then measured by a calibrated read-out device
ASTM Standards E 1137 for Industrial Platinum Resistance Thermometers specifies that the resistance-temperature relationship for
P a g e | 41
such devices for the range 0 C to 650C, to within the tolerances given below, will be described by the equation: R(t) = R(0)[1 + At +Bt^2] Where: t = temperature (to ITS-90), C, R(t) = resistance at temperature t, R(0) = resistance at 0C A = 3.9083 * 10^-3(C), and, B = -5.775 * 10^-7(C^2).

The antenna on a radar level gauge generates millions of very short 1 Nano second microwave pulses every second. Each pulse is directed and transmitted to and reflected from a product surface. The elapsed time period between transmission and reception of the signal at the speed of light is measured and calculated as a distance. This continuous stream of

pulses gives real time level information updated and is evaluated many times a second. Radar level sensors work with safe, low emitted power in the c (4 to 8 GHz) and k-band (18 to 26.5 GHz)frequency range. The proven ECHOFOX signal processing selects the correct level echo reliably. Adjustment by filling and emptying the vessel is not necessary, it can normally be done with simple input of vessel dimensions.

2. Measurement Principle Consider the two identical transceiver units positioned at either side of the flue(or duct), unit 1 and unit 2. The transmissivity of light from unit 1 to unit 2 (unit 1transmitting) can be represented by the equation : t12 = K1 (D21/D11) where : K1 = gain constant to produce t = 1 (100% transmissivity, clean air condition) D11 = the detector output at unit 1 (internal reference level) D21 = the detector output at unit 2
The transmissivity of light from unit 2 to unit 1 (unit 2 transmitting) can also be represented by the equation : t21 = K2 (D12/D22) D12 = the detector output

I to P converter
I to P converts an analog signal (4 to 20 mA) to a proportional linear pneumatic output (.2 to 1 kg/cm2). Its force balance principle is a coil suspended in a magnetic field on a flexible mount. At the lower end of the coil is a flapper valve that operates against a precision ground nozzle to create a backpressure on the servo diaphragm of a booster relay. The input current flows in the coil and produces a force between the coil and the flapper valve, which controls the servo pressure and the output pressure.
Positioner
