be confirmed during the operation of the industrial plant.
Kuettner Thermodynamic Process Model
The furnace process in the SBF and the off-gas treatment are closely linked. During
the first start-up of the SBF furnace, it became apparent that for safe and effective hot
commissioning of the off-gas treatment, Kuettner had to get involved in the start-up
of the furnace process itself. The start-up of the furnace became a success when all
parties involved were working closely together.
Quite early in the process, the need for an own detailed thermodynamic furnace
model was identified, which was developed completely in-house by Kuettner. This
model was refined by actual data from commissioning and start-up. As a foundation,
thermodynamic software AsTher was used for the thermal and chemical equilibrium
calculations.
In the Kuettner process model, the furnace is divided into different linked zones:
• Bath zone
• Upper furnace
• Post-combustion
• Boiler/Quench.
