Heat Loading & Zoning
Automation levels
Planning of Combustion System
Capacity Rating
•  Is fixed after deliberation with the Client
•  Depends on the size and mix of produce to be
preheated.
•  The material of the billets play an important
part in finalizing capacity.
Material Handling
•  Predominantly Preheating furnaces can be
divided into the following categories:
–  Pusher Type
–  Walking beam /Walking hearth
–  Rotary hearth
•  Considering the charge we plan the material
handling
HEARTH LOADING
•  Based on the type of furnace hearth loading is
determined , with the focus on
–  heat transfer ,
–  Decarburization
–  pattern of heating i.e Top Heating or Top and
Bottom heating
HEAT LOADING AND
ZONING
•  Considering the design and capacity of the
furnace different types and sizes of burners are
recommended in the different zones of the
furnace.
•  Types of Burners
–  LAP Burners
–  High Velocity/ Oxy Fuel
Automation In the Furnace
•  In order to achieve greater efficiency in the furnace
and further increase production and reduce scale
losses the following automation in the furnace can be
carried out:
•  Temperature Control
•  Pressure Control
•  Air/Fuel or Oxygen/Fuel Ratio Control
Oxy Fuel Technology
•  Reduced Emissions
NOx emissions are reduced substantially with a oxy-fuel conversion.
•  Improved Efficiency and Production
Improvement in fuel efficiency as compared with traditional air-fuel
furnaces. The energy savings partially offsets the cost of oxygen. There
scale formation also comes down to 0.3%
•  Increased Furnace Refractory Life
Temperature homogeneity of the furnace increases thus minimizing the
chances of thermal shocks in the refractory
•  Simplified Operation
With no recuperator, the furnace operation and maintenance are simplified

RESULTS OF CFD
ANALYSIS
Case Study
INDIAN STEEL AND WIRE
PRODUCT (ISWP) , A Subsidy of
TATA STEEL
BACKGROUND OF ISWP
•  The Furnace was initially designed by OFAG ,
Germany.
•  The Furnace was designed to produce 30 to 32
Ton/hr
•  The Furnace was based on Bull Nose Design.
PROBLEMS FACED BY
ISWP IN THE FURNACE
•  Frequent failure of the Roof and Bullnose of
the Furnace
•  High Fuel Consumption up to 42 ltr/ton
•  Scale loss were as high as 1.5 %
•  The furnace controls were present but not
operational
•  The Furnace throughput was limiting the
production of steel
SUGGESTION MADE BY
ENCON
•  Furnace Modification
–  Redesigning the Bull nose design of the furnace by
Camel Hump
–  Change in the design of the Roof Bricks and
Hangers.
SUGGESTION MADE BY
ENCON
•  Combustion System
–  The top firing LAP burners of the heating zone of
the furnace were replaced by High velocity burners
on the side wall
–  The Soaking Zone burners were kept the same
SUGGESTION MADE BY
ENCON contd..
•  Level 1 Automation
–  Automatic temperature control
•  This was achieved by placing 6 thermocouples in the
furnace, 3 Thermocouples were placed in the soaking
zone and 3 Thermocouples were placed in preheating
zone.
•  The air to fuel ratio was governed by a combination
valve.
•  The Furnace was divided into 6 zones three in soaking
zone and three in Preheating zone.
RESULTS ACHIEVED BY
THE RETROFIT
•  Fuel consumption has come down to 32.6ltr/
Ton of steel produced.
•  Scaling is down to 1%
•  There has been no failure in the furnace for the
last 1 year the furnace has been operational.
•  The furnace is constantly producing steel at the
rate of 35 Ton/hr.
CASE STUDY -2
Revamping of Furnace at
TATA SSL, BOISAR
PROBLEMS FACED BY
SSL IN THE FURNACE
•  High Fuel Consumption up to 47 ltr/ton
•  Improper Soaking of the Billets
–  High Power Consumption by the Mill
–  Frequent break down of the Mill
•  The Furnace was only producing 36 Ton against the
designed capacity of 45 ton
MODIFICATIONS MADE BY
ENCON
•  Heat Load calculation were done and
accordingly the combustion equipment's were
changed
»  Burners
»  Blowers
»  Recuperators
•  Air and Oil pipeline were redesigned and
modified accordingly.
MODIFICATIONS MADE BY
ENCON contd..
•  Complete refractory lining was done again

Water Cooled skid
RESULTS ACHIEVED
•  Increase in production by 16-25% from 36
tons/hr to 42-45 tons/hr.
•  Fuel consumption reduced by 23-30% from 47
ltrs/ton to 33-36 ltrs/ton.
•  Electrical Power consumption reduced by
about 8%.
•  Reduction in breakdowns due to better quality
heated billets

Furnace Design
•  Designed a Top and Bottom fired furnace with water
cooled skids and PID based control.
•  The furnace is designed for firing Mixed Gas (Blast
Furnace Gas and Producer Gas). The gas will be
either enriched with Oxygen or supplementary firing
of furnace oil will be done.
•  All the combustion equipments are being supplied by
us.

Recuperators
Jupiter- Encon Oxy-Fuel
Technology
1.  is a patented process for the combustion of fossil fuels with pure
oxygen
2.  uses an undiluted high flame temperature, but keeps the same
process temperatures
3.  combusts at or near stoichiometric
4.  retrofitted using the same furnace design and refractories
Conventional Combustion v/s
Oxy-Fuel
Higher Flame temperature
Traditional Combustion
–  Air fuel fired 21% oxygen, 79% nitrogen
–  3 to 5% excess air
Relatively Low Flame Temperature
No change in furnace design and materials
Readily Available Nitrogen to Create NOX.
Nitrogen Increases the combustion volumes
Does not affect Inclusions/impurities in the
re-melted aluminum
78% Potent heat escapes through Stack.
Possibility of variable processes
No change in versatility of the usage
