Carbon level in tank during carbon injection
Disturbances in the continuous carbon feed have consequences on production and finished steel quality. In order to not jeopardize steel making process optimization, it is vital to have sufficient carbon supplies at all times. Ensuring sufficient supplies requires knowing the amount of available carbon in the silo and noticing when the silo’s material level becomes critically low so that the refilling process can be initiated. Either a non-contact ultrasonic sensor or a level detection tuning fork can monitor the carbon supply levels in the storage silo.
