Abstract

The work presents generalized experience in the development and implementation at PJSC Severstal of technological measures to extend the campaign of blast furnace No. 5. The authors carried out an analysis, identified and described the problem areas, generalized the principles for ensuring the safety of the shaft lining, boshes and metal receiver of the blast furnace. The results of a study of the working space of blast furnace No. 5 in 2006 are also presented. The identified technological factors ensure an increase in duration of the unit campaign. Technological measures are given for: washing the blast furnace hearth, reducing chemical erosion of the carbon blocks of the hearth and flange, forming a protective skull in the blast furnace shaft, special methods for loading solid coke substitutes, and organizing an effective structure of the charge column in the blast furnace. It is necessary to use digital models integrated into the blast furnace expert system for operational control of blast furnace technology. The results of the current blast furnace campaign were compared with previous ones. It was proven that the systematic use of all elements of the developed technology makes it possible to achieve high economic indicators while exceeding the standard duration of the campaign by 1.75 times. Experience in technology development made it possible to increase the furnace campaign duration to 17.46 years, achieve a reduction in specific coke consumption by 15.9 %, and increase the specific consumption of natural gas for cast iron smelting by 46.4 %; reduce the specific carbon consumption for cast iron smelting by 6.3 %.
