Fume Monitor: Real-Time Emissions Monitoring for Furnaces

Achieving Continuous Environmental Compliance with Real-Time Monitoring of Fume at Steel Plants

The Fume Monitor is a state-of-the-art video-based fume volume measurement system designed for electric arc furnaces (EAF), blast furnaces, AOD and BOF converters and dedusting plants. The emission monitoring device meets the needs of environmental compliance officers, steel plant managers, and dedusting system operators. In the steel industry, maintaining compliance with emission regulations while optimizing dedusting operations is a significant challenge. The Fume Monitor addresses these challenges by increasing dedusting efficiency, reducing electrical energy demand, and ensuring continuous environmental compliance. This is achieved through online video analysis, continuous automated calculation of actual fume volume flow, and adaptive dedusting system optimization.

The Fume Monitor fulfills critical demands of steel producers by providing real-time fume monitoring and an adaptive balance between steelmaking and dedusting. This system reduces operational inefficiencies and decreases excessive energy costs associated with dedusting systems. By leveraging advanced video analysis, the Fume Monitor enhances steelmaking efficiency through improved suction optimization. The system's online video analysis utilizes a high-resolution camera to continuously monitor fumes from electric arc furnaces, blast furnaces, AOD and BOF converters, and dedusting plants, alerting operators when changes in suction volume are required. This capability increases the efficiency of the dedusting system at EAF plants, reduces electrode consumption, and enhances environmental protection.
