Production process application examples
Process instrumentation in the mining and metallurgy industries plays a crucial role in ensuring accurate measurements, process optimization, and dust mitigation. The requirements for process instrumentation in these industries include accuracy, reliability, safety, real-time monitoring, compatibility, calibration, and data logging.
Blast furnace material level measurement
During smelting, iron ore, flux, coke and other furnace materials need to be transported from the silo to the top of the blast furnace, and loaded by conveyor belt or skip car. In order to ensure reasonable distribution of the ore layer and coke layer, the SRL series radar level transmitter is needed for material level measurement.
Coke oven pressure measurement
Coke provides the necessary heat for production in the process and acts as a reducing agent and support structure in the blast furnace. During coking, in order to achieve the best production conditions, the coking plant will individually adjust the pressure of each coke oven. PMD3051 is an ideal instrument for measuring pressure.
Density measurement of pulp thickener
The slurry obtained from mining will enter the concentrator through the feed barrel, and the solids in the slurry will settle to the bottom of the tank. To effectively control the operation of the concentrator, accurate density measurement is required at the underflow port. The SENTEC SPX series density meter provides accurate online measurement.
Warehousing and transportation
The warehousing and transportation process in mining and metallurgy industries also benefit from process instrumentation. Instrumentation plays a crucial role in ensuring accurate measurements of various parameters such as temperature, pressure, and level in storage tanks and transportation vessels.
Torpedo tanker liquid level measurement
After tapping from the blast furnace, the molten iron flows into torpedo cars at temperatures exceeding 1400°C and is transported to foundries or converters for further processing. SRL630 radar non-contact liquid level measurement is crucial for the safe feeding of torpedo tankers.
Level measurement in the sintering process
After the sintering is completed, the material is sent to the cooling equipment to cool down to about 150°C. When conveying materials, in order to ensure cooling efficiency, SRL600 radar level transmitters used for material layer thickness measurement on the conveyor belt.
Level measurement and limit measurement in auxiliary tanks
