BLAST FURNACE
ADI Industrial Services

ADI-IS designs and manufactures its own endoscopic devices enabling an appropriate technical answer to specific needs.

  • Standards endoscopic devices have an outer diameter of 38 mm enabling introduction in a 2” valve (thermocouple f.i.).
  • Outer diameter, suitable endoscope lengths and various vision angles enable cowpers, main pipe and bustle pipe inspection
  • INDUSTRY CHALLENGES FOR HOT BLAST AIR CIRCUIT

    Efficient uninterrupted operations of hot blast air supply to the blast furnace -> RELIABILITY

    SStable process conditions avoiding fluctuations since there is no room for mistakes -> CONSISTENCY

    Low costs operations and down time minimization -> RETURN ON INVESTMENT

    Energy efficiency -> LOW EMISSIONS

    SOME (VERY) GOOD REASONS TO PERFORM ENDOSCOPY WITH ADI-I

    DOMES AND CHECKERS

    the fall of bricks on the checker, partially blocked, poor heating and higher energy use.

    BURNER AND GRID

    Soon or later fall of bricks on the burner grid leads to bad blasting, undesirable turbulences and higher energy use.

    COMBUSTION CHAMBER

    the fall of bricks, cracks, undesirable interferences between the combustion chamber and the checker leading to heating issues and energy intensive.

    BUSTLE PIPE AND MAIN PIPE

    The fall of bricks, partialy blocked, poor hot air supply to the tuyeres and higher energy use.
