SUMMARY:Improvement of blast furnace operation and carbon footprint using the state-of-the-art Oxygen Pulsing Technology
DESCRIPTION:The SIP technology developed by thyssenkrupp in-house is the first of its kind and the Schwelgern 1 blast furnace is the first blast furnace in the world to be equipped with it. The system fits perfectly into thyssenkrupp Steel’s strategy to produce carbon-neutral steel of known quality by 2045.
The carbon-based metallurgy of the blast furnace route is expected to give way to hydrogen-based technologies. The SIP Oxygen Pulsing technology was commissioned in late 2020 on the 40-tuyere thyssenkrupp Steel Europe Schwelgern BF1 in Germany, and demonstrated immediate improvements in eta-CO. The technology makes it possible to optimize the use of reducing agents. Innovations such as the SIP process enable the necessary efficiency gains and CO2 savings in the existing infrastructure until the technology change is complete. 
This paper presents the effects of the new technology on the performance and CO2 emissions during regular operation of the blast furnace.
