Proper furnace maintenance is essential to ensure reliable and efficient steel plant performance. This paper will focus on the benefits of proper furnace maintenance and how it relates to cost savings via reduced fuel consumption, maximized productivity and optimal product quality. Routine furnace maintenance entails the calibration and tuning of combustion control components, exhaust system control components, furnace seals and furnace lining. This paper will provide an in-depth look at the importance and methods of maintaining an air-to-fuel ratio, furnace pressure, water seal integrity, air and gas flow metering and other furnace subsystems.
