Pc. Wall et al., THE INTERPRETATION OF LASER SENSING MEASUREMENTS FOR BLAST-FURNACE OPERATIONS AND CONTROL, Revue de métallurgie, 91(3), 1994, pp. 411-420
BHP has developed and implemented several laser-based sensors for use
on its blast furnaces, including an optical stockrod, burden profiler
and raceway sensor. This paper briefly reviews the developments in las
er-based sensing and examines the data obtained during normal and abno
rmal (eg. shutdowns) furnace operations.
