Smart Staves – The Wear Monitoring Solution
IntroductionIn terms of blast furnace shell protection, copper staves are considered proven cooling technology to protect high heat load areas, thereby ensuring a high productivity and a long campaign life of the fur-nace. To maintain these benefits of the cooling elements, it is essential that blast furnace operators are able to detect possible premature wear of copper staves at a very early stage so as to prevent complex replacements or relines.
Taking up this issue, Paul Wurth has developed a new sensor to measure and monitor the stave wear in a precise and continuous way, whereby all data are transmitted via wireless network to a cloud. The individual sensors are powered by batteries. The operator then visualises the wear measurements on a dashboard designed by Paul Wurth. The sensors can be installed on new staves or as a retrofit during blast furnace stoppage.
Technical featuresSensor
y Sensor made of copper (same physical properties as staves) y Embedded in existing or new cooper staves y Sensor wears together with stave y Absolute measurement of the stave thickness
Electronic unit y Located outside the BF shell y Microcontroller with signals processing y Battery-powered, no cabling, reduced installation costs y Measurement frequency defined by operator
Data processing y All data related to wear condition and battery status are encrypted during transmission. y Wireless data transmission to secured cloud (Paul Wurth Xpert Cloud) y Web-based dashboards adapted to customer’s needs
Blast Furnace Plants
A smart solutionAs the measurement is continuous in time, it becomes possible to make a correlation between the stave wear and the furnace operation. By using statistical analysis, process models and AI for root cause analysis, the wear of the cooling elements can be related to the BF process parameters and counter-measures can be taken to improve the wear situation. Additional process support and process recom-mendations can be obtained from Paul Wurth in case wear is detected.
Benefits y Easy installation during normal shutdown y Regular monitoring during operation y Full historical data of staves wear y Digital feature for lifetime extension of staves y Low invest as system is provided as a service y Process support by Paul Wurth is available when wear appears
”“Being subject to stave wear is not pleasant,
but not knowing it is even worse.
