Technology Training — Steel Mill Combustion and Thermal Systems

The goal of the conference is to give attendees the knowledge and background to assess and understand the condition of their combustion system equipment. Attendees will also be given exposure to the latest techniques for the upgrade and optimization of their systems to improve energy performance and reduce emissions. The workshop will highlight the opportunities for sensors and controls to achieve tighter control of temperature zones, better adjusting of thermal systems, and increased process throughput and energy savings. The use of sensors and diagnostics, computational fluid dynamics modeling and visualization, techno-economic evaluations, and advanced energy optimization techniques such as thermal recovery and use of pure oxygen, as well as selection of refractory materials, will be covered. The conference will also cover decarbonization-related topics such as the use of low-carbon fuels and energy sources, use of electrotechnologies and the application of innovative energy efficiency solutions.
