Furnaces International December 2022 and Buyers' Guide 2023

Welcome to the December issue of Furnaces International.

I can’t believe we are already at the end of the year and it has certainly been quite an interesting and challenging year for many.

I’m pleased to say that this issue is once again packed full of great technical articles and the Greener Furnaces section seems to grow each time, so there are clearly a lot of new projects and processes being implemented in the drive towards Net Zero manufacturing.

There is also a full round-up from Zahra Awan, Editorial Assistant, who attended the Furnaces North America show in October. It looked like a bustling event and with over 1200 attendees, I hope this can continue to thrive as live events get going again next year. On this theme, please keep an eye out for more details of the upcoming Glassman Conference and Exhibition taking place in February 2023, as there will be a dedicated Furnaces Technology session, in association with Furnaces International. Get in touch if you’d like the opportunity to present to the glass industry at this event.

ArcelorMittal closing Bremen furnace, citing ‘soaring’ gas costs

ArcelorMittal has announced that it will switch off one of two furnaces at its steelworks in the German city of Bremen until further notice from September-end, citing the soaring cost of gas, weak market demand and a negative economic outlook.’

The steelmaker said it will also shut down the direct reduction plant at its Hamburg steel factory from the fourth quarter of this year, while keeping workers on shorter hours at both sites.‘’The high costs for gas and electricity are putting a heavy strain on our competitiveness.’’

Reiner Blaschek, chief executive of ArcelorMittal Germany

“The high costs for gas and electricity are putting a heavy strain on our competitiveness. On top of that, from October onwards, there will be the German government’s planned gas levy, which will further burden us,” Reiner Blaschek, chief executive of ArcelorMittal Germany, said in a

statement.‘’We see an urgent need for political action to get energy prices under control immediately.”

Reiner Blaschek, chief executive of ArcelorMittal Germany

“With a tenfold increase in gas and electricity prices, which we had to accept within a few months, we are no longer competitive in a market that is 25% supplied by imports. We see an urgent need for political action to get energy prices under control immediately,” he added.

ArcelorMittal said higher gas prices caused by the Russia-Ukraine conflict are impacting the work at the two facilities.

This is making the two plants ‘unprofitable’, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal.

ArcelorMittal has already reduced its gas consumption in Germany and produced around 70Mt of steel in total last year.

Bormioli Pharma completes Italian glassmaking

One of the leading Chinese aviation companies has announced a cooperation with SECO/WARWICK and placed an order for a Vector® vacuum furnace for carburizing (LPC) and gas quenching. The furnace will be used for the manufacture of hydraulic pump components and other machinery.

The vacuum furnace ordered by the aviation company will be used mostly for gas quenching parts sensitive to hardening deformations made from such types of steel as tool steel, stainless steel, structural steel, bearing steel or high-speed steel. The device de-

signed by SECO/WARWICK plans to feature the LPC option, which will be used for vacuum carburizing.

FineCarb and PreNitLPC are modern and economical methods for low pressure carburizing (LPC). By dosing a nitrogen medium during the controlled heating stage, the carburizing process can be performed under higher temperatures (1000°C and more) while ensuring the small-grain structure of the processed layer. This technology enables savings of process costs by shortening the carburizing cycle and reducing the consumption of process gases.

Maciej Korecki, VP, Vacuum Business Segment at the SECO/ WARWICK Group commented on this development,

“We are pleased that a Fortune Global 500 company has placed trust in us and commissioned the manufacturing of this technology,… Our furnace is a guarantee of the perfect quality of workpieces and of a highly repeatable and uniform carburizing process. We understand that the aviation industry is certainly very demanding. Meeting the strictest standards allows us to successfully cooperate with the largest companies in the aviation and automotive industries”

Verallia upgrades French glassmaking furnace

Verallia France has renovated its number three furnace at its SaintRomain-le-Puy (Loire) site. The renovation has enabled the maintenance of glass production and will reduce energy consumption at the site.

Fabien Marion, Industrial Director of Verallia France said: “On this partial repair, we prepared the furnace to change the energy mix towards more electricity and less fossil fuels, allowing us to reduce our environmental footprint.”

The furnace is one of 13 at the Saint-Romain-le-Puy site. The plant is also one of the only Verallia France sites to offer several shades of glass.

Fabrice Faure, Director of the Verallia plant in Saint-Romain-lePuy, said: “Oven number three was built in 2015 and was shut down on August 23 for partial reconstruction. 467 people from 82 different companies took turns [renovating the furnace] over 49 days.”

Isabelle Bardon, employee of the

site for 25 years, and client Rodolphe de Pins, President of Cru Lirac and owner of Château de Montfnone, had the honour of restarting the oven, as the godmother and godfather, in a traditional event known as the match ceremony. The ceremony requires the flame to be transferred from one oven to another. It was this gesture that

the godmother and the godfather followed: the fire of oven number two in operation was transferred to oven number three for its restart. The renovation is one of the many decarbonisation initiatives undertaken by the Verallia Group to achieve its target of a 46% reduction in CO 2 emissions (Scopes 1 and 2) by 2030.

AMETEK LAND:

Peeking inside

Zahra Awan* spoke with Fiona Turner** on the ins and outs of AMETEK Land. With technological transitions, the thermal processes have become safer, more efficient and more technical. AMETEK Land is one of many companies assisting the industry with technology designed to enhance performance.

Could you give us a brief history behind AMETEK Land?

AMETEK Land is a world leader in industrial infrared non-contact temperature measurement, combustion efficiency and environmental pollutant emissions monitoring.

The company started as Land Instruments in 1947, effectively a spin-out company from Sheffield’s steelworks. Our eponymous founder, Tom Land, initially started making devices to measure temperature in his father’s steelworks. His company has gone from strength to strength, bringing state-of-the-art technology to industrial processes. We now have a proud 75-year history and can claim a number of industry firsts:

� Commercial infrared thermometer using silicon photodiode

* Editorial Assistant

** Global Head of Product Management, Ametek Land

AMETEK Inc. [has] transformed

“

from a traditional, family-run business into a modern, global enterprise. ”

� Portable single-lens reflex infrared thermometer

� ISO9000-certified infrared thermometer manufacturer

� Production of in-flight infrared thermometer

� Utility gas turbine infrared thermometer

In 2006, Land Instruments was acquired by AMETEK Inc. and transformed from a traditional, family-run business into a modern, global enterprise. We retained our dedicated R&D centre and manufacturing facility in Sheffield, UK, and we now supply our world-leading pyrometers, scanners and thermal imagers to over 100 countries worldwide.

What are the main industries that AMETEK Land works with?

Metals, glass, hydrocarbon processing and power are the main market sectors we serve, but there are requirements for precision non-contact temperature monitoring instruments, often for high temperatures and harsh environments, in many other manufacturing industries. We also have customers in the medical, aerospace, automotive and plastics applications to name just a few. We supply products to over 100 countries worldwide.

Why technology? Where do you see technology leading the industries you work with?

Our whole function is technology. The alternative used to be operators attempting to judge temperature from the glowing colour of a piece of metal, or the emissions levels by how smoky the air looked! For centuries these were the only methods, and metal and glass were certainly manufactured, but the processes were dependent on skilled artisans and produced low volumes, inefficiently, with variable quality, significant levels of scrap and

complete disregard for emissions.

Our technology and products provide accurate temperature monitoring of substances and positions in the process that were previously un-measurable. Some even provide a detailed process view inside furnaces, using carefully selected wavelengths to effectively ‘see’ through smoke and flames.

For many of our customers, process temperature is the key parameter that determines product quality and efficiency. Too cold, and chemical reactions slow or stop, or solid products become less ductile resulting in damage at later processing stages.

Too hot, and unwanted chemical reactions may occur, emissions increase, the surface finish may be affected, infrastructure can be damaged and the process wastes energy. So our technology enables the precise temperature monitoring and control which leads to increased throughput of a higher quality product.

With the digitalisation and integration to Industry 4.0 technologies, how are AMETEK Land products being used? Where does AMETEK Land stand in this move?

At the forefront. Our products have always been enablers of automation, supplying live process temperature measurements to customer PLC and other plant control systems, over protocols as simple as 4-20mA and digital alarms and as advanced as Gbit industrial ethernet will allow. Whichever protocol is chosen, significant amounts of ‘big data’ can be amassed, and our dedicated software used to gain process insights and direction.

Over the last 10 years, our products have also been becoming smarter and smarter, with more advanced processing and I/O onboard, and embedded webservers for remote configuration.

For example, with our latest LWIR range, the full high-speed

thermal video can be viewed as required in a web browser, but there is no requirement for dedicated software or continuous operator monitoring. Once alarms have been configured on specific regions of interest using the webserver, the browser can be closed, with the operators safe in the knowledge that the camera will autonomously monitor the furnace shell for developing hotspots and trigger alarms instantly if required.

While connectivity is necessary, security is paramount for most of our customers, so our products operate within a limited part of the customer network, inside tight firewall protection, with server data kept on site.

What new projects are AMETEK Land working on?

With a dedicated R&D function at our head office near Sheffield in the UK, we are continuously launching new products and improving our older models. Recent developments include the autonomous longwave camera I mentioned above for furnace shell monitoring, and a midwave infrared ‘borescope’ thermal imager that pokes through the refractory wall to give a wide-angle process view inside the furnace itself, even through flames and smoke. You can expect to see further products utilising this waveband in the future, and also an expansion of our Ex Hazloc / ATEX product range for hazardous atmospheres.

Could AMETEK Land products assist in reducing the impacts of the energy crisis on a company/industry?

Absolutely! So many of our instruments are for high temperature applications, that require huge amounts of energy to melt/soften/vapourise the product. Traditionally they would be heated until the product change occurred, with burner settings based on

CHALLENGES BEHIND GROWTH

historic process know-how. However, if you can precisely monitor the temperature, you can precisely control it. You don’t have to overheat it. Many of our customers report significant energy savings – as well as product quality benefits - from being able to tightly control process temperature.

What is the future of AMETEK Land? What future products or where do you see the technology moving to?

It is an exciting time to be working in product development at AMETEK Land.

New developments in semiconductor materials are leading to novel infrared detectors, and thereby to innovative new pyrometers, thermal imaging and scanning systems. The processing power of even the smallest chips is so impressive these days that we are implementing complex functionality onboard our instruments, that would previously have required a server and offline post-processing. We are following recent developments in artificial intelligence (AI) with great interest: AI has huge potential for the interpretation of big data such as thermal images, and could potentially identify trends that an expert plant operator might miss.

We are also involved in several collaborative long-term research projects with external academic and industrial partners. Several of these focus on energy conservation and decarbonisation which is of huge interest to many of our customers; I will be speaking about our infrared insight into hydrogen combustion at an Institute of Physics Conference at Rolls-Royce in Derby on 27th October. We also present at many other exhibitions and events throughout the year. In the meantime, keep up with our latest developments at www.ametek-land.com. �

Harnessing the Sun: A heat treat case study with General HEAT TREAT TODAY

Imagine this: A huge lab facility nestled in the south of France. . . teams of scientists and technicians striving to bring carbon-free energy solutions to the world. . . “replicating the high-energy fusion reaction that powers the sun and stars.” To complete the project, what heat treat solution is needed? Read to find out.

Article first published on www.heattreattoday.com in September 2022.

General Atomics TODAY

Introduction

For this case study, we will discuss how SECO/VACUUM built a highly specialized custom heat treating furnace used in the construction of the central component of a large, multinational science experiment.

The Experiment ITER (standing for International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor and meaning “the way” in Latin) is the largest high-energy science experiment ever conducted. At a giant lab facility in southern France, 35 countries, hundreds of vendors, and thousands of scientists and technicians are collaborating on a device to demonstrate the feasibility of clean, safe, carbon-free energy production by replicating the high-energy fusion reaction that powers the sun and stars. There are no solid materials that can touch, much less contain, such a high-energy reaction without

immediately vaporizing. Instead, this super-hot cloud of plasma must be contained by a special configuration of magnets called a tokamak, which can trap charged particles in a toroidal or donut-shape cloud. This tokamak has 10 times more plasma containment volume than any other tokamak ever built. The term “tokamak” comes to us from a Russian acronym that stands for “toroidal chamber with magnetic coils” (тороидальная камера с магнитными катушками).

General Atomics’ Magnet Technologies Center near San Diego, CA was contracted to build the ITER tokamak’s large central magnet, the most powerful superconducting magnet ever built, strong enough to lift an aircraft carrier. Other magnets in the tokamak serve to contain the plasma. The central solenoid is an oscillating magnet responsible for inducing current in the plasma cloud similar to how an induction stove heats a pan, except it is heating the plasma to 15 times

the temperature of the surface of the sun. Far too large to be constructed and transported in one piece, the 12-meter-tall, 4-meter-wide coil of wires must be built in six 2-meter-tall modules to be joined once they are all on site at the lab. A seventh module will be built as a spare.

Kenneth Khumthong, technical lead for final testing and fabrication certification for ITER Central Solenoid at GA, described the tests on each module of the magnet, saying, “We run a battery of tests on each and every module, subjecting them to voltages as high as 30,000 volts and powering them with as much current as 40,000 amps. This is done to ensure that every module meets all of ITER’s specifications prior to shipping them out to France.”

Embrittlement vs. Field Strength Tradeoff

Other superconducting electromagnets in the ITER tokamak will be made using coils of relatively durable niobium-titanium alloy. Past experiments have demonstrated that magnetic fields greater than 12 tesla disrupt the superconducting properties of Nb3Ti. The ITER central solenoid, however, must sustain magnetic field strengths above 13 tesla. For this reason, the central solenoid coils must instead use niobium-tin as its superconducting wire, which more reliably maintains superconducting properties in such high magnetic fields but is also more brittle and too fragile to bend after reaction to Nb3Sn. In order to accommodate for the brittle wire, General Atomics had to first coil the wire and jack-

et into their final shape before heat treating the metals into their superconducting, albeit brittle, alloy Nb3Sn.

The Wire

� Niobium-tin wire strands react to become Nb3Sn.

� Copper strands serve as traditional conductors to safely dissipate stored energy when the superconductivity experiences a disruption. The copper strands do not react with the niobium-tin.

�

A central spiral maintains a hollow channel to circulate liquid helium to chill the Nb3Sn wires to 4°K, below their superconducting temperature of 12°K.

� Creating such strong magnetic fields inside a coil of wire will also tear apart the coil of wire itself if that wire is not supported inside a high strength jacket. The ITER central solenoid wire bundle is about 38.5 mm diameter, housed inside a 50 x 50 mm stainless steel jacket.

� Total maximum current in the superconductor wire is 48,000 amps.

� Worldwide niobium production increased six-fold for several years just to meet the niobium demands of the ITER project.

The Heat Treating Furnace

In order to convert the niobium-tin metal conductors into superconductors, each of these 4 meter by 2 meter 110 ton solenoid sections must be heat treated for five weeks, exceeding 1200°F (650°C) at its peak. The heat treatment serves to alloy the niobium and tin together into Nb3Sn, which becomes a superconductor when chilled with liquid helium to 4°Kelvin. No such heat treating furnaces existed, so General Atomics turned to SECO/

VACUUM to build a custom heat treating furnace large enough to fit these solenoids and packed with all the technology needed to meet the strict quality control standards of this monumental experiment.

Five inch wide metal band heaters ring around the walls of the furnace with nearly 900kW of heating power. Covering 50% of the walls, they provide a very uniform heat. This is brought about by the following seven steps.

The Heat Treating Sequence

In addition to alloying the niobium-tin wires, the furnace also serves to remove the stresses in the stainless steel jacket housing the superconducting wire and to bake off any residual contaminants prior to reaching reaction temperature.

1. Complete a quality control test: Vacuum seal the untreated solenoid coil in the room temperature furnace and charge the inside of the conductor jacket with 30 bar high pressure helium to test for leaks after forming and welding.

a. Monitor furnace atmosphere with ultra-high sensitivity mass-spectrometer helium detectors.

2. Purge with argon gas while slowly ramping up heat.

a. This drives off hydrocarbons and oxygen before the system reaches reaction temperatures.

b. Monitor furnace atmosphere with gas chromatograph to find impurities from residual oils and lubricants leftover from manufacturing process.

c. Monitor and control argon circula-

tion and exchange with mass flow sensors and circulation blowers that penetrate the furnace lid with ferrofluidic feedthrough seals around the blower motor shafts.

3. Maintain at 1058°F (570°C) for about 10 days. Confirm stabilized temperature and pure atmosphere.

4. Proceed to 1202°F (650°C) for four days. This is the actual reaction phase that achieves the primary objective of converting the niobium-tin into the superconducting alloy Nb3Sn.

5. Very slowly and uniformly ramp back down to room temperature to avoid additional stresses in the coil.

6. Complete another quality control test: Evacuate the argon and once again vacuum seal the solenoid coil in the room temperature furnace and recharge with 30 bar high pressure helium to test for leaks after heat treating. Monitor atmosphere for the presence of helium, which would indicate a leak in the coil.

7. Only then is it ready for the post-heat treating stages of wrapping with insulation and encasing in epoxy resin for rigidity.

Options, Upgrades, Special Features

There was no room for error. SECO/VACUUM collaborated with the engineers at General Atomic to create a heat treat furnace that can assure temperature variation within the coil never varies by more than 18°F (10°C) anywhere in the furnace at any time in the five-week cycle and achieves near-perfect repeatability for all seven modules.

They accomplished this with quadruple-redundant control thermocouples and feeding temperature data from 150 points in the coil into the control computers. To shield against impurities, the furnace is first evacuated to a vacuum pressure of 0.001 Torr, and then purged with pure argon to drive out any residual

oxygen or hydrocarbons that could contaminate the purity of the superconductor. Monitoring the argon atmosphere for impurities are redundant mass spectrometers. The argon is circulated by seven convection fans to heat the solenoid assembly evenly. Each of these fans must be driven through ferrofluidic feedthrough seals which allow the rotating shafts to operate through the furnace walls without compromising the vacuum seal of the furnace.

Consult, Collaborate, and Partner with SECO/VISORY

General Atomics first began discussing this project with Rafał Walczak, the product manager at SECO/VACUUM, in early 2010. Both teams spent over two years on conceptual discussions, preliminary designs, and process simulations before SECO was even awarded the contract. Once SECO was on board, it took another two years of design, fabrication, and installation before the furnace could be put into operation. SECO/VACUUM built it to handle a lifetime of use without error so they could be sure that it would work flawlessly for the seven cycles that it actually had to run.

Robur acquires glass furnace inspection

Glass furnace inspection company

Franke Industrieofen Service has joined the Munich-based industry service specialist, Robur. It will now offer its furnace inspection and monitoring services under its new branding FIOS.

Dr. Norbert Pfitzner, founder, and CEO of Franke Industrieofen Service, said: “Operating in the glass and aluminium industry we are already well known in Germany and central Europe.

“Together with Robur we want to expand our reach and offer our services to more clients – together Robur partners and especially with our longtime friends at Excelsius.”

FIOS specialises in furnace inspection and monitoring services without stopping the production

process.

Using a self-developed mobile inspection camera system, FIOS delivers HD-quality insights into the furnace during the production process in temperatures up to 1,500ºC and gives feedback on the burning process.

This information can be used to make well-founded decisions on necessary furnace maintenance.

Dr Pfitzner explained the change in the branding: “In the past we have already been called FIOS by our international clients and this was inspiration for us to also pick up this name officially as our future brand.

“Based on our heritage and experience, we will expand our busi-

ness for our clients and, together with Robur, offer industrial service along the life cycle of our clients’ assets”.

The two groups were already known to each other through their cooperation with Excelsius.

“FIOS is the perfect extension of our hot work services” said Dr. Florian König, Senior Partner at Robur, and CEO of the Business Unit Process of the group.

“FIOS and Excelsius have already partnered in the past, are both companies of choice in the glass and aluminium industry and together have the ideal potential to expand into further industries to deliver their hot works expertise,” he added.

Bormioli Pharma completes Italian glassmaking furnace upgrade

Pharmaceutical glass manufacturer Bormioli Pharma has completed the refurbishment of its Bergantino, Italy furnace, which is dedicated to the production of type II glass containers.

The project, completed last month, is one of many initiatives the company has put in action in terms of industrial investments.

This new project strengthens the moulded glass production capabilities of the group, which have been recently integrated with tubular glass capabilities.

In the last three years, Bormioli Pharma has acquired two companies in Germany specialised in the production of pharmaceutical packaging and, among this, of tubular glass vials (Type I, II, III).

The result is a highly flexible glass productive platform, with back-up opportunities and multiple technologies.

The Bormioli Pharma plant in Bergantino employs about 350 people and more than 1.8 billion pieces are produced annually.

The use of advanced technologies and the high qualified systems used to improve product quality contribute to the continuous advancement of this Bormioli Pharma’s plant, which is one of the most important European centres to produce moulded glass for pharmaceutical use.

“Our philosophy at Robur has always been to bring specialists together and have them work collaboratively on finding solutions to the challenges our customers face.

“With a focus on digital transformation, supporting ecological change and the Robur partnership, we can offer our customers and partner companies the ideal basis for growing together and mastering the challenges of today collaboratively within a group of specialists.

“We are delighted that Norbert, together with his colleagues at FIOS, have chosen to shape this further growth in and with Robur.”

Verallia sets date for Brazilian glass furnace lighting

Verallia has confirmed the date it plans to light the second furnace at its Jacutinga, Brazil glass production facility.

The CEO of the French-headquartered container glass manufacturer, Patrice Lucas, said the lighting would take place, as planned, on November 9 this year.

He made the announcement in its latest financial report where they said momentum in Latin America was ‘unprecedented’.

The company invested €60 million in the glass packaging plant expansion.

Revenue growth remained high despite the slight expected decline in volumes due to less available capacity.

The company renovated five furnaces in the second half of the year –four of those in Q3 alone- which limited production capacity.

Overall, revenue was up by 24.5% over nine months at €2,518 million, compared to the first nine months of 2021.

In Southern and Western Europe, sales were up over the first nine months of the year, despite a slight decline in volumes in the third quarter due to the simultaneous renovations of several furnaces.

Northern and Eastern Europe posted improved revenue for the first

nine months of the year.

Volumes were, however, also down slightly during the third quarter.

Verallia’s situation in Ukraine remained similar to during the first half of the year: one furnace was emptied and cooled in order to keep it in good condition, while the second is now mainly focused on producing food jars.

In Latin America, the excellent momentum seen during the first half continued in the region, in terms of both volumes and sales prices.

Thanks to higher year-end visibility, coupled with excellent third quarter results, the group has increased its adjusted EBITDA target for 2022 to above €820 million (compared to €750–800 million previously).

The heating and preparation of logs into billet prior to extrusion is a key aspect of achieving efficient production of high-quality profiles. Log processing includes several steps, including heating, cutting, and handling. Based in Belding, MI, Granco Clark has a long history of engineering and manufacturing efficient, reliable, high-precision equipment for the extrusion industry, including furnaces and machines designed to provide efficient and reliable log processing (Figure 1).

Precision Press Feed Systems for Efficient Extrusion Operations

Log Furnace: Over 50 years ago, Granco Clark invented the flame-impingement furnace, the tunnel furnace, and the jet preheat furnace. These developments evolved into the energy-saving Hot Jet furnace, which delivers uniform temperature to the log. Over the years since the Hot Jet furnace was first introduced, the company has continued to make slight changes to the design in the spirit of continuous improvements—such as the introduction of using a large, long-life quiet roller system that provides easier maintenance.

The company’s newest generation of log heating furnace has been completely redesigned from entry to exit (including the doors). The furnace features a number of design characteristics that are aimed at taking billet/log heating to the next level in the extrusion industry. The first orders of the new generation furnace are currently being delivered to customers. More details about the new furnace will be announced at a later date.

Cutting and Bonding: Cutting hot logs into billets after the log furnace provides flexibility and significant advantages over precut billet heating. In addition, the days of cutting billets with hot log shears are mostly gone. Shears once served a purpose, but the benefit of having a perfectly square cut billet that has been precisely cut to length by a side-cut hot billet cut saw (HBCS) has gained preference by most extruders.

After cutting billets to length, there will always be a section of

the billet remaining. This remaining piece may or may not be usable by itself. Some extruders have attempted to loosely load the short pieces into the press, hoping they will extrude smoothly during the extrusion process. However, the FusionBond system welds the remaining short piece to the next log in the furnace, thus making it completely usable and thereby reducing scrap.

The FusionBond system eliminates two-piece headaches, improves recovery, and avoids unnecessary cost due to risky twopiece billet handling malfunctions.

Billet Handling: Granco Clark offers many methods for transporting the billet from the heating system to the press, depend-

ing on the extruder’s preference. These methods range from a simple transveyor to a servo-controlled overhead pick and place system. Tipoff transfers are often clumsy and can result in billets rolling uncontrollably, so a smooth delivery from the heating system to the press is paramount.

Isothermal Heating: On the way to the press, it is recommended that extruders process the billet to provide a precision temperature gradient in order to achieve isothermal and iso-pressure extrusion. The Taper Quench system ensures flexibility and control, allowing extruders to precisely adjust the temperature gradient of the billet while locking in a desirable grain structure.

The benefits of taper heating the billet in this way include faster and consistent extrusion speeds, increased throughput, and consistent die face pressures.

Conclusion

An excellent extrusion line is kicked off with a high-quality feed system that ensures the billet has been properly heated, cut, and handled before it even enters the extrusion press. Granco Clark’s press feed systems are just a small portion of the handling and processing systems that it provides, including high-performance extrusion quenching, fully automated extrusion handling, stacking systems with aging, and precision off-line extrusion cutting—nearly all of which are available with clean, quiet, and precise servo systems (as an alternative to hydraulics). No matter the equipment, the company implements the same precise and robust engineering approach to every extrusion equipment solution.

Increasing refractory lifetime

The average campaign life of the RH-OB vessel at SAIL’s Rourkela Steel Plant was almost doubled from an initial average of 88 heats, then 106 heats to 130 by greater attention to the weld joints between the snorkel legs and lower vessel, and by increasing the position of the refractory retainer plates 300mm higher up the vessel. By S Roy1, A Bhattacharyya2 , P Kumar Pedapudi1, and P R Padhee1

A number of steel vacuum technologies for secondary refining were developed for degassing in the 1950s. These included RH (Rurhstahl Heraeus) degassing, Vacuum Tank Degassing (VTD), Vacuum Arc Degassing (VAD), and Vacuum Induction Melting (VIM). Today, the demands of clean steels require even lower hydrogen and nitrogen content, ultra-low carbon and sulphur, and lower total oxygen. Vacuum treatment facilities play a crucial role in achieving this. The chosen vacuum degassing technique is dictated by the steel grade to be produced. The use of RH vacuum degassing is the most common, especially for large heat sizes. RH processing is an important tool for various metallurgical functions such as decarburisation, vacuum degassing and inclusion removal. It is also used successfully to produce ultra-low carbon steels, auto grade steels, pipeline steels, and silicon steels. RH degassing starts with sucking up the liquid steel from the ladle into a vacuum chamber via two snorkels (up-leg and down-leg) [1]. Then, a flow of steel is circulated between the vacuum chamber and ladle by blowing an inert gas into the liquid steel. The degassing process involves both a chemical reaction and a transport phenomenon in the liquid steel[1], inside splashes of metal in the vacuum chamber and at the surface of bubbles as they

form[2,3]. Liquid steel flow characteristics play an important role in controlling the rate of degassing, decarburisation and inclusion removal. This complex process involves thermodynamics, kinetics, and multi-phase flow and mass transfer[4]. It has been proved that a lower vacuum pressure[5, 6], a deeper insertion depth of the snorkel[3, 7] and a higher gas flow rate[8-12] favour optimisation of the fluid flow within the RH vessel, although the circulation rate will reach a saturated value with the increasing gas flow rate[7, 13]. The RH-OB degasser is categorised as a ‘Re Circula-

tion Degassing’’ characterised by very high decarburisation and degassing with relatively little temperature loss, as compared to other degassing techniques. Further, the ability to blow oxygen in the RH-OB process compensates for any temperature loss during recirculation of the steel. No special slag measures and no additional ladle freeboard are required. Fast vessel changes and efficient ladle transport concepts increase the capacity and productivity of a plant.

Construction of the vessel

The RH degasser consists of a refractory lined vessel with two snorkels at the bottom and a gas off-take at the top along with a vacuum pumping system. Treatment starts by immersing the snorkels into the molten steel contained in a ladle either by lifting the ladle or by lowering the RH vessel. The steel rises into both snorkels by suction. One of the snorkels is equipped with argon or nitrogen gas injection pipes. This lift gas creates the steel circulation through the vessel back into the ladle via the outlet snorkel. The treatment time is defined as the duration between submersion and removal of the snorkels into the melt and varies between 15 and 45 minutes depending on the steel grade required.

Unplanned shutdowns risk

Usually, the lifetime prognosis for the refractories is based on operational experience and on the close co-operation with the refractory supplier. However, there is the risk of unplanned shutdowns that lead to low productivity and higher costs. The demand for RH-treated steel grades is increasing, which necessitates high plant availability and, therefore, high refractory

lifetime. The reliability of the refractory is especially important when operating with a single RH degasser as a vessel change takes considerable time. To achieve a high refractory lifetime, it is essential to determine the main factors influencing refractory wear. This enables the maintenance of the RH vessel to be planned and avoids unscheduled shut downs. As a consequence, the productivity of the RH degasser can be optimised.

Steel Melting Shop No II at the Rourkela Steel Plant, was commissioned in 1996. The RH-OB facility was introduced during the expansion of the steelshop in 2013 but was not commissioned until 2016, in the final phase of the steelshop’s modernisation. All quality steel such as IF steel, automotive and deep drawing, alloy steel for pressure vessel, HIC resistant steels, line pipe, ball bearings and so forth can be produced. The following metallurgical benefits characterised in the RH-Treatment at Rourkela Steel Plant:

� Optimum decarburisation to less than 20ppm carbon;

factors influencing

� Rapid reduction of hydrogen content to less than 1.5ppm;

� Removal of nitrogen under vacuum to less than 30ppm;

� Achievement of exact compositional values;

� Chemical heating of the melt is possible;

� Improved overall steel cleanliness.

As illustrated in the refractory lining depicted in Figure 1, the vessel along with the snorkel is lined with refractory bricks and castables. The snorkel is relined with bricks of 165mm thickness on the inside while the outer shell is covered with castable of 90mm thickness (Figure 2). The lower part of the leg consists of mag-chrome bricks 175mm thick and the upper part lined with bricks of 200 mm thickness. The lower vessel has 12 courses of direct bonded mag-chrome bricks of 250mm lining thickness and has a total height of 2000mm. There is a steel brick retainer plate 25mm thick between the lower vessel and middle vessel which supports the entire load of the latter. The brick retainer plate is covered with a special L-shaped brick[15] to prevent erosion of the retainer plate. The entire vessel is lined with mag-chrome bricks due to their high-volume stability, high hot strength to resist erosion by steel flow, high thermal shock resistance, high resistance to corrosion by steel and slag, high resistance to iron oxide attack and no carbon pick up of the steel from the refractory.

“To achieve a high refractory lifetime,

lifetime, it is essential to determine the main refractory wear”

From 88 to 130 heats

Initially, the life of the snorkel and lower vessel was approximately 88 heats and this increased to 130 heats after the first modifications. In the RH-OB vessel, gunning is carried out after every heat to minimise the erosion rate of the snorkel and to increase lifetime. Bricks in the lower vessel are changed after each campaign along with the snorkels.

The RH-OB was a new addition and the challenge, therefore, was to increase the life of the refractory to improve productivity, reduce the specific cost of refractories and, in turn, the cost of steel. In the present study, the abrupt failure of the snorkel and vessel refractory have been addressed which was adversely affecting steel processing in the RH-OB unit.

Identification of problems

Since its inception, the RH-OB operation had proved to be a bottleneck, due to the short campaign life of the snorkel and lower vessel refractory. Moreover, during the initial 50 campaigns, the vessel was down 15 times due to the shell being punctured and metal breakout from the snorkel and bottom junction, and once due to metal breakout from the lower and middle vessel retainer plate area. Also, during these 50 campaigns, the retainer plate had to be changed five times, leading to increased

LIFE OF A FURNACE

downtime of the vessel. This was adversely affecting productivity and the cost of production at the steel melting shop of RSP. To improve the campaign life, the two most vulnerable areas were identified after several case studies. These were: a) The weld joint between each snorkel and the vessel and; b) The retainer plate of the lower vessel.

Detailed inspection after every heat for three months, failure analysis and refractory post-mortem analysis led to identifying these main causes.

The snorkel

The snorkel consists of a metal cylinder lined with refractory inside and out. The metal part is welded to the lower vessel before the start of each campaign. This requires in-situ welding around the circumference of the cylinder from both inside and outside the joint after aligning the snorkel to the lower vessel. The weight of the snorkel and lack of space resulted in a poor weld quality which sometimes led to the creation of pinholes and cracks in the weld during operation (Figure 3). These small pin holes were sufficient for high velocity air ingress into the vacuum chamber which was evacuated to 1-2 mbar. The impact of this high velocity air on the refractory could cause sudden collapse of refractory in the impacted area. Falling refractory further exposed the steel heat being treated and the hole gradually became larger ultimately leading to metal breakout as depicted in Figure 4. As a result, the vessel had to be taken out of service for repair frequently.

Apart from this, severe turbulence of liquid steel was occurring within the vessel during very low vacuum operation. This

was aggravated when the temperature of the steel charged was high – above 1640°C – and this elevated temperature decreased the density of the liquid steel (to around 6.9kg/cm3 Figure 5)[14] which caused a sharp rise of the height of the liquid steel above the recommended 1.47m design level required to produce steel splashing within the vessel during the deep degassing stage. This thermo-mechanical impact resulted in rapid erosion of the thin refractory lining on the bottom retainer plate area, which was only 140mm thick. Once erosion of this refractory was complete, the steel retainer plate was exposed and eroded due to the high velocity and impact of liquid steel. This resulted in the sudden collapse of refractory bricks once the retainer plate, which supported the refractory, failed and this in turn led to hole formation in the lower vessel, which resulted in a loss of vacuum and

LIFE OF A FURNACE

stopped the operation.

The problem was verified using Bernoulli’s equation. The velocity of the air ingress into the vessel was calculated with real-time data and found to be above supersonic speed. According to Bernoulli’s equation:

p + 1/2ρV2 +ρgh = constant (1) where p is the pressure, ρ is the density, V is the velocity, h is the elevation and g is the gravitational acceleration. Now considering that the height is similar we get:

P1–P2= 1/2(ρ2V22–ρ1V12) (2) and, A1V1 = A2V2 (3) Therefore, from equations 2 and 3, it shows that decreasing the area of the hole or decreasing the pressure of the vacuum will increase the air velocity.

A2< A1, V2> V1

V2> V1, p2< p1

From the real time data, the air velocity with decreasing pressure is calculated for vacuum pressures of 1mbar and 10mbar, as shown in the box below, indicating that the velocity of air through a pin hole is much higher than supersonic speed and has

Figure 5. Temperature vs steel density

sufficient momentum to dislodge the refractory lining resulting in leakage of metal.

Experimental

Several steps were taken to eliminate the weld joint problem. First, a channel in the form of a ‘V’ was prepared only on the outside joint of the snorkel to the lower vessel, as inside is covered with refractory. The ‘V’ was prepared with a 45° angle following the recommended procedure of the supplier.

Proper grinding was also ensured in the area. The root run weld and final sealing weld run was made using Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding. Furthermore, in place of random ultrasonic testing of the weld, 100% ultrasonic testing was carried out to detect any weakness of the weld which was then repaired.

To address the increase in height of liquid steel inside the vessel because of a lower steel density at increased temperature, the inside of the vessel was inspected thoroughly after each campaign for five subsequent campaigns to ascertain the maximum height up to which metal splashing ocurred.

Increased steel splashing

The higher level of steel resulted in increased steel splashing inside the vessel and thereby eroded the refractory and subsequently the brick retainer plate. To take care of the unacceptable high rise of liquid steel, the height of the retainer plate was increased by 300mm. Height increase protected the brick covering of the plate from becoming eroded which, in turn, increased the life of the retainer plate as well as that of the lower and middle vessels as shown in Figure 6. HA 90 dense castable was also used to patch the area to retard brick erosion in this vulnerable region.

In conclusion, during the initial 50 campaigns the average life was only 106 heats and there were 15 cases of metal breakout from the snorkel welded joints. After the necessary modifications, in the next 50 campaigns, metal breakout occurred on only three cases and that too after a high snorkel life. The average life was increased to 130 heats and there was no damage to the brick retainer plate as a result of a marked reduction in erosion of refractory in the area. Vessel down time was dramatically reduced as a result of the significantly fewer shell repairs required.�

Furnace simulations to assist in daily operation

CelSian has developed a simulation software, GMT-X, for glass furnaces. Andries Habraken* outlines how the software’s dedicated models allow it to accurately describe the inside of a glass furnace.

Computer simulation started its development in the previous century. The initial goal was to have a tool that could help understand and predict heat and mass transfer, fluid flow, chemical reactions, and other related processes that occur in engineering equipment, in the natural environment, and in living organisms.

The processes of heat transfer and fluid flow pervade many aspects of our life.

Like in real life, the best approach to solve a complex problem is to divide it into smaller pieces and try to solve it piece by piece. One of the first simulation methods described was based on this principle and worked as follows: a process is cut into many small boxes, and for each box, the laws of physics are calculated.[1] For the complete process, there is information exchange between the boxes. This is the principle of computational simulation tools as we know them today (Figure 1).

The weather forecast is a well-known example of a simulation tool that is used to predict wind, rain, and temperatures. Figure 2 shows an example of a climate model.[2] The Earth’s atmosphere is cut into a finite number of connecting blocks, and in each block, equations are solved to describe the local situation. The model includes all the basic components of the climate factors (atmosphere, ocean, land, and sea ice). The boundaries of this model lie in the energy coming from the sun and the heat losses toward the surrounding space.

Weather forecast models are incorporated into our daily life. We use them to schedule activities or decide how to commute

to the office for instance.

Glass furnace simulation

CelSian developed simulation software for glass furnaces. This simulation software, named GTM-X, is similar to the software used for the weather forecast or the one used in the automotive and airplane industries, but it is equipped with dedicated models

Data from laboratory experiments and many years of field experience is used to define and validate dedicated models like the model for the batch blanket[3] and the model to calculate the dissolution of sand grains.[4] CelSian’s laboratory is supporting the modelling of cold top furnaces, as the request for full electric furnace technology is rapidly increasing (Figure 3). This simulation software is used in-house by CelSian’s engineers to support process improvement projects, as well as by the engineering teams of several glass producers and furnace designers. Continuous developments are driven by feedback from the industry, like the implementation of a special radiation model needed for low iron glass melts.[6] Nearly all furnace designs are validated by mathematical furnace simulations. GTM-X is widely accepted simulation software and CelSian is proud that most furnace designers use GTM-X to improve current furnaces performances and work on new designs. The questions that GTM-X answers are related to

low energy use, good product quality, low emissions, and a long furnace lifetime.

Future-proof furnaces

Reducing carbon footprints is one of the largest challenges that new furnace designs will need to tackle. Current initiatives focus on reducing energy use and investigating alternative energy sources like biofuel, electrical energy, and hydrogen. Although the best choice will most likely be driven by availability, technical challenges can be solved by computer modelling.

Increasing the amount of electrical boosting energy in a conventional furnace should not be done without carefully checking the impact on product quality. The flow of the glass melt is driven by temperature differences, and the wrong location of the electrodes can lead to production issues (Figure 4).

Using an alternative energy source like hydrogen leads to questions like burner design, the impact on product quality, and the consequence on the furnace’s lifetime. Figure 5 shows the result of a project in which modelling is combined with lab-scale testing to look at the impact of hydrogen combustion on heat transfer.

Support daily production

Solid inclusions, bubbles, and blisters are investigated in a laboratory, and their source of origin can be traced via computer modelling. Once the cause of a defect is known, possible solutions are safely tested in the computer model, leading to the safest and most promising solution to be applied in the real furnace. This approach has been proven in hundreds of projects.

For furnaces in which the product colour changes, it is profitable to reduce the time at which the product is out of the spec.

Figure 6 shows a model of a float furnace that is in the process of a colour change. The simulation reveals the change in iron oxide in the glass melt, which affects the product colour but also the radiative properties of the glass smelt. These properties are important to consider as they have an impact on the crown temperatures in the furnace. The simulation shows how the energy needs to be corrected to prevent overheating the crown.

Furnace control

Having a time changing computer model opens the road to other applications. The model predicts how and when changes oc-

cur as a result of a change in the process. As the response of a glass furnace is very slow, it is difficult for a furnace operator to understand how the furnace responds. The dynamic computer model is a very helpful tool to support the operator. It is a digital twin of the real furnace, providing many virtual sensors beneath the melt surface.

The simulation as described above is almost as fast as in real-time, but still too slow to steer the glass furnace directly. For direct control of the furnace, a much faster model is created from the CFD model, by performing a series of step tests on the digital twin. This method is safe for the furnace, does not impact product quality, and results in a control model without information from unknown disturbances.

The reduced model can be used directly in an MPC to estimate glass melt temperatures in the furnace, and change the setpoints to keep these temperatures stable and within the allowed bounds. By using this technique, it has been proven that the standard deviation for average glass melt temperatures reduced from 1° C to 0.25 °C.

By using the controller, temperature stability is achieved and

the unstable period after a large process change, like a job change, is reduced to a minimum.

Hong Kong’s only steel-rolling mill to produce recycled steel

Tenova Italimpianti has announced it has received a contract from Metalloinvest for the reconstruction of the Heating Furnace nr. 2 in the second rolling unit of Alexey Ugarov OEMK, in Russia.

As part of the reconstruction, the new Shiu Wing Steel, Hong Kong’s first and only steel-rolling mill, plans to produce recycled steel to meet growing demand created by China’s green ambitions in Hong Kong and other cities in the Greater Bay Area (GBA) development zone, according to a report by South China Morning Post.

The 65-year-old steelmaker plans to build an electric-arc furnace at its plant in Tuen Mun to produce 700kt of recycled steel a year by 2025 and expand its presence in the GBA, Dario Pong, Shiu Wing’s executive director, said in an interview.

The construction steel market in the development zone, which comprises Hong Kong, Macau and nine mainland Chinese cities in Guangzhou province, is estimated at 20 to 25Mt a year, a significantly higher amount compared to Hong Kong’s market of 1.2-1.5Mt a year.

“We hope to make the decision [to build the furnace] next year. We need about two years to build and then need about 10 years to recover that investment.”

Dario Pong, Shiu Wing’s executive director:

“We hope to make the decision [to build the furnace] next year. We need about two years to build and then need about 10 years to recover that investment,” Pong said.

Shiu Wing’s investment plan follows China’s decarbonization goals

set out at the 2020 United Nations General Assembly, where it pledged to peak carbon emissions before 2030 and reach carbon neutrality by 2060.

“We want to restart our [green] steelmaking business because we are seeing a new concept emerge – People are talking about green steel now,” Pong added. design of the walking hearth furnace includes the modification of the combustion system using the new technology burners with the aim to improve efficiency and reduce emissions.

The project aims also to eliminate the formation of a range of defects in the products, allowing the client to reduce costs and increase volumes of high quality long products (Special Bar Quality, SBQ).

Hatch to deliver hydrogen route for green steel project

Tata Steel has announced that Hatch will be part of the team to deliver the hydrogen route to make green steel at its lJmuiden plant in the Netherlands. Hatch has been selected to provide the engineering for the reducing electric furnace (REF) package, which, when coupled with a direct reduced iron (DRI) plant, will enable the production of green steel using hydrogen.

The hydrogen route project is part of Tata Steel’s commitment to produce steel with zero carbon emissions by 2045. To achieve that goal, Tata Steel will convert its steelmaking facilities from coal-based to hydrogen-based utilizing direct reduced ironmaking (DRI) technology, in which iron ore is directly reduced using natural gas, and progressively increasing amounts of hydrogen, and subsequently melted and refined in large and efficient rectangular electric smelting furnaces.

“Efforts to reduce CO 2 emissions from iron and steel production are critical to mitigating the impacts of climate change. Transitioning to low-carbon emission steel production enables the building of a sustainable steel industry. We look forward to working together with Tata Steel on this landmark project and congratulate them for their leadership in accelerating this change,” shared Joe Lombard, global managing director, metals, Hatch.

Tata Steel has engaged Hatch to develop basic engineering for the DRI reduction smelting complex,

which will use Hatch’s electric furnace technology, CRISP+, and design and supply the process equipment within the complex. The Hatch scope broadly includes feed mixing, hot mix transfer, primary and secondary off-gas systems, electric furnaces, and slag granulation.

“Already some years ago, Hatch saw the potential of reducing electric furnace technology for iron and steelmaking, and we invested in the development, testing, and commercialization of the technology accordingly. It is great to see this foresight now bearing fruit, as this technology is key to making green steel production a practical reality,” commented Nils Voermann, global managing director, technologies, Hatch.

“We recently made agreements about our future with two ministries and the province of North Holland. We also indicated that we want to be CO 2 neutral before 2045 and that we want to emit between 35 and 40% less CO2 before 2030. This will largely be done via the hydrogen route. We are replacing the blast furnaces with modern technology that uses hydrogen or gas instead of coal,” said Hans van den Berg, CEO of Tata Steel Nederland.

Littala to receive €10 million electric furnace investment

Fiskars Group will invest €10 million in electric furnaces for its Iittala glass factory in Hämeenlinna, Finland which will reduce the factory’s annual CO2 emissions by 74%.

Fiskars Group will replace the Iittala factory’s existing, natural gas-powered furnaces with electricity-powered furnaces.The investment will reduce the factory’s CO2 emissions by approximately 10,000 tonnes a year (74%) and decrease nitrogen oxide and fine particle emissions.

Gerresheimer invests in oxy-fuel furnace at German glass plant

Gerresheimer has invested in a multi-fuel oxygen furnace at its German plant in Tettau, Bavaria.

The pharmaceutical and cosmetics glass manufacturer replaced one of two furnaces at its Tettau plant.

The new multi-fuel oxygen furnace will allow for more sustainable container glass production.

In particular, the use of green electricity, which in the future will account for up to 50% of the energy input, will make a significant contribution to reducing the CO2 emissions from production.

Kay Rohn, Managing Director of Gerresheimer Tettau, said: “Against the backdrop of the current economic and geopolitical situation, Gerresheimer is sending a strong signal for a successful future with this investment in more sustainable technology.

“We believe in glass as a future-oriented packaging solution

and are committed to the expansion of the Tettau plant.”

At the plant, Gerresheimer employs approximately 600 people and produces over 700 million glass containers a year.

As part of its global sustainability strategy, the Gerresheimer group has set itself the goal of reducing its CO2 emissions by 50% until 2030 compared with 2019.

The project will start next year and be completed in 2026.

Nathalie Ahlström, President and CEO of Fiskars Group, said: “Sustainability is a key enabler of Fiskars Group’s Growth Strategy.

“The Iittala glass factory has been a pioneer in the Finnish glass industry since 1881, and we are proud to continue investing in its future and in our local operations by reducing emissions.

Approximately 30% of the total investment will be covered by

the European Union’s NextGenerationEU funding granted by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment of Finland on 4 October 2022.

This energy investment aid to the Iittala glass factory is €2.871 million.

The new furnaces will also replace 51,900 megawatt-hours of energy consumption based on natural gas with renewable electricity.

This will decrease the energy consumption of the glass melting

furnaces by 67%.

Fiskars Group has set a target to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from its own operations (Scopes 1 and 2) by 60% from a 2017 base year by 2030.

In addition, the company is committed to reducing GHG emissions from transportation and distribution (Scope 3) by 30% from a 2018 base year.

Regenerative burners and Low NOx Injection Technology

Overview of Regenerative Burners and LNI Technology

Regenerative burners have played a significant role in aluminium melting for many years due to their ability to increase production and lower fuel cost. By reclaiming heat from the furnace exhaust gases and using it to preheat the combustion air, regenerative burners reduce the amount of fuel needed to melt the aluminium. Regenerative burners operate in pairs, which can be seen in Figure 1. Burner A begins firing while burner B is extracting hot furnace gases through its regenerator. The heat from the furnace gases is stored in the ceramic regenerative media of burner B, and the gases exit the regenerator at a much cooler temperature than the furnace temperature. The burners then switch operation, and burner B, which was previously exhausting the furnace gases, now operates in firing mode. Cold combustion air enters through the regenerator of burner B and reclaims the stored heat from the media. This process increases combustion efficiency by up to 45% compared to a conventional cold air combustion system.

Although preheating the combustion air improves efficiency and reduces fuel consumption, it also leads to an increase in NOx emissions. NOx emissions are strongly dependent on temperature, local oxygen concentration, and residence time. In order to mitigate the rise in NOx emissions caused by high combustion air preheat temperatures, regenerative burners can

be paired with Low NOx Injection (LNI) technology. With LNI technology, fuel and preheated combustion air are injected separately into the furnace once it’s above the autoignition temperature of the fuel. This is done by using an outboard fuel injector that is independent of the main burner body. This allows the fuel and air to entrain and mix with the furnace gases prior to mixing with each other. The result is flameless oxidation and a high volume, low intensity, low temperature combustion process with low local oxygen concentration. This technology provides an 80 percent decrease in NOx emissions compared to conventional high efficiency burners.

Although the historic implementation of regenerative burners has been focused on increasing production and minimising fuel cost while maintaining ultra-low NOx emissions, the current drive towards decarbonisation has given regenerative burners a new purpose in the industry – lowering the carbon footprint of aluminium production.

How is CO2 Formed and How Can It Be Reduced?

Until recently, the main focus of emissions reduction in industrial thermal processing has been NOx emissions. However, the need to decarbonise the industry has shifted the focus to decreasing CO2 emissions. Unlike NOx, CO2 is a major species in the combustion of hydrocarbon fuels, as given by the following general reaction for the combustion of any hydrocarbon in air: C_X H_y+a(O_2+3.76N_2 )→xCO_2+(y⁄2) H_2 O+3.76aN_2

The amount of CO2 produced is directly proportional to the number of carbon atoms in the fuel. Therefore, the amount of CO2 formed in the combustion process depends only on the fuel

composition and the amount of fuel consumed by the process. The combustion system CO2 emissions can therefore be reduced by improving efficiency and/or using an alternative fuel with lower carbon content.

Process efficiency can be improved through maintenance and operational practices, such as maintaining proper air/fuel ratio, effective furnace pressure control, regularly inspecting and repairing furnace refractory, doors, and seals, and optimising operational practices. Heat recovery can be used to further increase efficiency by reclaiming heat from the exhaust gases and using it for useful heating, either in the same process or in another process within the plant. This can be done by strategically designing the flow of products of combustion within a furnace, diverting flue gases to another process within the plant, or using a heat recovery device, such as regenerative burners.

Other than improving process efficiency, the only other means of reducing the CO2 emissions from a combustion system is to use an alternative fuel with lower carbon content, such as hydrogen or hydrogen-enriched natural gas. Although hydrogen is a high-quality fuel, firing burners with hydrogen poses several challenges compared to natural gas, including hydrogen’s higher flame temperature and faster flame speed. The flame temperature of hydrogen is 150-200°C hotter than a methane (the main constituent of natural gas) flame across all air/fuel ratios. This implies elevated NOx emissions when firing hydrogen fuels with conventional burners. The flame speed of hydrogen is also significantly faster than methane, especially when operating under rich conditions or with minimal excess air. This fast flame speed means the likelihood of flashback of a premix flame into the burner body greatly increases.

Rather than using pure hydrogen as a fuel source, there is also the option of blending hydrogen with natural gas to lower CO2 emissions. For most properties, the impacts of blending hydrogen are nonlinear. For example, Figure 3 shows the flame temperature for different levels of hydrogen blended with natural gas. While there is a near-linear region between 0-30% hydrogen content, the flame temperature rises rapidly as the hydrogen level increases beyond that point.

Achieving significant CO2 reduction requires blends that are in the steeper nonlinear regions. As shown in Figure 4, achieving only a 25% CO2 reduction will require 50% hydrogen blended with natural gas and a 50% CO2 reduction will require 76% hydrogen blended with natural gas. Therefore, a combustion system decarbonisation strategy focused solely on hydrogen fuels can potentially require significant changes to the burner and system design to combat the challenges associated with firing fuels that contain large amounts of hydrogen. The high level of hydrogen content required to achieve significant CO2 reduction, and the design challenges and steep fuel cost associated with hydrogen fuels point to heat recovery with regenerative burners as a logical step on the path towards decarbonisation.

Figure 4. CO2 reduction as a function of hydrogen volume blended with natural gas.

Regenerative Burners: Decarbonisation through Heat Recovery and Hydrogen Fuels

From a decarbonisation perspective, heat recovery provides a significant benefit as it simultaneously decreases CO2 emissions and fuel cost by improving process efficiency. Furnace efficiency can be expressed in terms of percent available heat, which represents the best possible furnace efficiency.

% Available Heat=100%((available heat)⁄(gross heat input))

The Sankey Diagram in Figure 5 shows that available heat is equal to the gross heat input minus all flue gas losses, and it represents the sum of the heat to the load and all other losses. By extracting energy from the exhaust gases and using it to preheat the combustion air or furnace load, heat recovery minimises the amount of gross heat input required, and, therefore, increases the percent available heat to the process.

Regenerative burners use heat recovery to provide up to a 45% decrease in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions compared to a cold air, natural gas system. Achieving the same reduction in CO2 emissions without heat recovery would require 72% hydrogen by

volume blended with natural gas. Regenerative burners can be relatively easily retrofitted to an existing furnace, and compatibility with LNI ultra-low NOx combustion technology means that NOx emissions performance will not be sacrificed for low CO2 emissions.

However, if the goal is to eliminate any CO2 emissions from the combustion system, hydrogen will eventually need to be introduced. Regenerative burners with LNI technology conveniently provide solutions to some of the most challenging realities of hydrogen fuels – high cost, fast flame speeds, and high flame temperatures.

Figure 7. Comparison of LNI NOx emissions with a pair of North American TwinBed™ II regenerative burners operating on natural gas and hydrogen.

The most significant benefit of regenerative burners is the reduction in fuel consumption, which results in lower CO2 emissions as well as improved fuel costs. Figure 6 compares the cost range of CO2 reduction with hydrogen fuels on a cold air system (pink) and the cost range of CO2 reduction with hydrogen fuels on a regenerative system (grey). With relatively minimal hydrogen blending, regenerative burners can provide a significant decrease in CO2 emissions. For example, a hydrogen blend having a median fuel cost of $100 per MW available to the process would improve CO2 emissions by about 10% for a cold air system but 65% for a regenerative system. Furthermore, as the level of hydrogen in the fuel increases, high efficiency regenerative burners mitigate the progressively high fuel cost.

From a burner design perspective, one of the most challenging characteristics of hydrogen fuels is the potential for the hydrogen flame to flashback due to the fast flame speed. Flashback occurs when the flame speed exceeds the feed speed of the fuel and combustion air mixture in a premix burner. Because many burners, even nozzle mix burners, operate with some amount of premixing of the air and fuel, careful consideration needs to be taken when evaluating if the burner design is suitable for hydro-

gen firing. When using LNI technology with a hydrogen-fired regenerative burner, the possibility of any flashback is eliminated because the air and fuel are injected separately into the furnace allowing combustion to take place inside the furnace volume, rather than in the burner tile.

Furthermore, because LNI relies on entraining the products of combustion into the oxidant stream, it is a solution to manage the high flame temperatures of hydrogen fuels. In fact, lab tests firing pure hydrogen with LNI on a pair of regenerative burners have shown LNI NOx emissions are lower with pure hydrogen than with natural gas. For example, at a furnace temperature of 1150°C, NOx emissions with natural gas are roughly 0.035 g/ MJ whereas NOx emissions with hydrogen are roughly 0.02 g/ MJ. One of the reasons for this result is that burning pure hydrogen eliminates any prompt NOx formation that occurs when burning a nitrogen-containing fuel like natural gas. The absence of prompt NOx, combined with the suppression of peak flame temperatures due to entrainment of the products of combustion, results in a significant overall NOx emissions reduction at typical aluminium melting furnace temperatures.

Firing pure hydrogen with regenerative burners and LNI technology eliminates CO2 emissions, resolves the flashback concerns of hydrogen fuels, decreases NOx emissions compared to natural gas, and minimises the high cost of hydrogen by maximising combustion efficiency.

Conclusion

Reducing the CO2 emissions of aluminium melting furnaces is essential to the decarbonisation of the industry, and it can be done in several steps. The first step is to maximise the efficiency of the

existing furnace by improving air/fuel ratio and furnace pressure control, repairing any damage or degradation, and optimising operating practices. Next, a regenerative combustion system can be retrofitted to an existing furnace to provide up to an additional 45% decrease in CO2 emissions without sourcing any alternative fuels. Finally, the regenerative combustion system can be relatively easily retrofitted for operation with pure hydrogen to eliminate CO2 emissions. A new fuel injector and hydrogen fuel train with the proper materials of construction can be fabricated and installed without any need to change the burners or other system components. Operating regenerative burners with hydrogen fuel and LNI technology will accomplish decarbonisation goals, while simultaneously minimising NOx emissions and mitigating the increase in operating costs. �

Enhancing carbon bake house furnace safety and efficiency

Farra’s team of 100 are doing big things when it comes to innovation regarding safety and efficiency in the maintenance of carbon bake furnaces for Aluminium Smelters globally.

Based in Dunedin, New Zealand, Farra has leads this global niche market in supplying access equipment for the world’s aluminium smelters with purpose-built pit maintenance platforms.

Farra has built many aluminium smelter pit platforms since designing and manufacturing the first one for the Tiwai Point smelter, near Bluff, in New Zealand, with equipment now operating in smelters across New Zealand, Australia, the Middle East, Africa, South America. Being proven and experienced with deep understanding of smelter bake house requirements and having over 25 years designing, manufacturing, and installing equipment for the aluminium industry Farra Engineering is the partner of choice for your pit maintenance machinery needs.

Pit platforms are hung over deep slit-shaped pits, which make the anodes used later in the aluminium manufacturing process. Cages are lowered by wires from drums and maintenance workers descend into the pits. The complete equipment is rated up to 65degC. “It is a particularly hostile working environment. says Thomas Schweitzer, Manager of Design and Innovation. “Our design team understand what it takes to design to be safe and efficient without cutting corners. “We have had others try to imitate what we have created and they have failed. On the surface

it looks simple, and it should be. But there’s more to getting it done right than you might think. Only experience and learning from extensive testing and trials in the workshop and real-life applications can give you that insight”.

Farra are committed to ensuring their products encourage safer work environments and increased bake house efficiency. Units typically allow safe access to up to 8 pits at a time for regular maintenance and work and are customised to each smelter, are built to last, and designed to work 24/7. Clients can choose from options like single or dual gantry, fresh air supply for the cage, CCTV in the cage for enhanced health and safety of staff, electric or pneumatic motion control supply for supply to the cage, a low profile 1650mm height, or a lightweight option less than

eight tonnes to name a few.

The most recent bespoke option is Farra’s patent-pending

Pit Wall Brushing Cages. These proprietary brushing units are added to the base of the PMU cages. They can remove the need for operators in the cages whilst cleaning of the pit is being undertaken. Sprung brushes can be activated every time the cage is used used manned or unmanned ensuring regular cleaning of the walls. There are several real benefits to this - No need to deal with cumbersome external cleaning units reducing the need to invest in additional equipment, It does not use the FTA, so it can be used for production improving fuel efficiency which has never been more important with rising costs, emissions, and the drive to meet the UN sustainable goals, and most importantly, it keeps your workforce healthy avoiding shoulder injuries caused by scraping the carbon off manually This Brushing Cage one of the many features that have been embraced by Mozal Aluminium Smelter in Mozambique. Farra’s pit maintenance units (PMU) create a safer and more efficient method for their aluminium smelter staff to access their carbon bake furnaces. Farra first created pit maintenance units for the Mozal smelter in 2002. In 2017, after 15 years of service, the well-used units were set to be retired. The two new PMUs were custom designed to match the layout and dimensions of the Mozal smelter and incorporated the newest innovations for PMUs. Other features installed included trackless relocation and dual gantry cages. Trackless relocation of the PMUs enabled the units to be driven with a remote between the Mozal Smelter’s carbon pits, saving time and freeing up their FTA crane for other essential smelter operations. The Mozal PMUs were designed to have dual gantry cages to double productivity. Each gantry cage had

a safe working load of 350kg and was suspended by four corner wire ropes, connected to a single layer hoist and was fitted with two independent brakes to ensure the safety of the user. The two cages allow the Mozal staff to work on multiple pits at the same time.

Other major carbon pit safety innovations include Farra’s Flue Wall Building System (FBS) and Flue Wall Repair Unit. The FBS allows quick and accurate assembly of new flue walls away from the pit using the mechanically driven building platform. These can then be delivered into the pit fully built, saving your operations team time. The Flue-Wall Repair Platform (FRP) is designed to provide convenient access to the pit while protecting workers using the platform. The FRP consists of three platforms: The FRP Platform or main frame sits on the pit ends which provides protection in two ways and helps to stabilise the flue wall and protect workers in the event of a wall collapse. The delivery platform provides an area to store bricks and allows a delivery trolley to

“On the surface it looks simple, and it should be. But there’s more to getting it done right than you might think.

”

run to and from the main frame. A seven-ton emergency recovery hoist retrieves workers in the event of a wall failure. Lastly, the Hoist and Work Platform is open sided allowing unrestricted access to the flue wall and has a flexible floor to adapt to the shape of the pit. Brick removal and delivery are achieved with the use of an overhead monorail fitted with twin electric chain hoists.

“The options are endless and this is a just taste of the difference Farra has made for others. We pride ourselves on building great relationships with our clients ensuring they get a quality outcome and what they actually need” says Farra CEO Gareth Evans. “We like to think that’s what brings our clients back to us. Because we understand what their operation needs to be better, safer and more sustainable”. �
