Success in modern blast furnace operations is measured through consistent product quality, high productivity, extended campaign life and minimum conversion costs. Maintaining good process control and protecting the asset’s integrity requires constant vigilance in:
- Raw material quality control
- Process monitoring
- Equipment reliability
- Procedural consistency
A resurgence in global steel demand has initiated an increase in greenfield and brownfield blast furnace development projects.
Hatch has a thorough knowledge of the blast furnace process and experience in the design, commissioning and start-up of furnaces around the world.
Clients rely on our in-depth knowledge of raw material selection, burdening methods, injected fuel options, and casting techniques.
Steelmaking clients rely on Hatch to provide studies for new and upgraded blast furnace facilities from concept level to implementation.
Recognizing the ironmaker’s need to extend blast furnace campaigns, Hatch has developed expertise to assist the operator in this endeavor.
Driven by a team of off-gas design and water technologists, we are committed to world-class air quality and the conservation of a site’s water resources.
