Description

Short description:
Explore BOS equipment, sensor systems, and control models to ensure steelmaking process precision and efficiency.

Long description:
This module delves into the essential equipment, core functions, and control systems of Basic Oxygen Steelmaking (BOS). It introduces learners to the physical layout of BOS, including the vessel, trunnion system, tilting mechanism, and oxygen lance. Participants will explore the role of tuyères, slag formation mechanisms, and oxygen injection dynamics. The module further covers key process control parameters and sensor technologies such as sublance sampling, off-gas analysis, and slag detection systems. Control models—including static charge, neural networks, and dynamic in-blow models—are analyzed for their decision-making applications in steel composition refining. This technical foundation enables learners to understand BOS operational effectiveness and optimize steel output.

What you will learn

- List the main components of a BOS setup and describe their respective steelmaking functions.
- Describe oxygen injection systems and reactions occurring within the BOS converter.
- Explain the function and application of sensors used in BOS, including sublance, off-gas, and vibration systems.
- Differentiate control models (static, dynamic, neural) used for real-time process decisions in BOS.
- Evaluate steelmaking conditions based on feedback from critical sensors and models.
