Oxygen Measurement Technology
Celox® Hot Metal
After the blast furnace has transferred hot metal to the torpedo (or ladle), Celox® Hot metal helps to enable an instant decision on what to do next: send the ladle to the desulphurization station or directly to the BOF.
The results of the measurement are given within seconds and an instant decision can be made on the next steps of the process. Precious time can be saved by not having to wait for the lab results, and overtreatment can be avoided.
Before desulphurization: Perform a Celox® Hot Metal Sulphur measurement before starting the injection process:
- No sample analysis necessary
- Desulphurization process can start immediately
After desulphurization: Perform a Celox® Hot Metal Sulphur measurement after desulphurization:
- Ladle can be released to the BOF: time saving of at least 4 minutes
- Straight forward measurement: accurate and fast
- No overtreatment: costs involved can be eliminated
- Faster decision on an additional treatment
