Another problem is that it doesn't end with just the blast furnace. As mentioned earlier, the steelworks is a continuous process, so if the blast furnace stops operation, all the plants that use the molten iron from the blast furnace need to cease their operation as well, meaning that the whole steelworks would have to be shut down.
Occasionally, it is required to shut down the blast furnace plant 1 by means of a blow down. In a first step of such a blow down procedure the blast furnace is operated without further charging the blast furnace. The charge level in the blast furnace 2 gradually decreases.
In general, banking is preferable for 2- to 14-day outages. For 14- to 21-day outages, either a banking or blowdown procedure can be chosen depending the specific cause of each blast furnace shutdown and repair scope.
For 14- to 21-day outages, either a banking or blowdown procedure can be chosen depending the specific cause of each blast furnace shutdown and repair scope. For an outage lasting more than 3 weeks, a blow-down is usually preferable, but banking is also a possibility and must be analyzed on a case-by-case basis.
The information and insight contained in this paper, including a detailed positive example of two-week furnace banking and start-up, will attempt to guide the blast furnace operator through
