There are 4 Blast Furnaces in Iskenderun Iron and Steel Co. (ISDEMIR) and there is no system to display these
furnaces during operation. Similar applications around the world were searched and samples of blast furnace imaging
systems were examined. Since the types of raw materials and flammable materials used in the furnaces are unique. It has
been decided to use the Infrared Camera as a suitable system. In accordance with the operating parameters of the
furnace, air and water-cooling hulls were designed and it was investigated how efficient monitoring could be made in the
furnace. As a result of the necessary preliminary preparation of water and nitrogen-cooled body is manufactured and
assembled.
In test applications, contamination was continuously detected on the camera glass, different types of nitrogen blow
nozzles were manufactured to prevent contamination and different types of glass were tested. Research, development
and manufacturing were carried out together with TMT Company.
The benefits of the top imaging system for the Blast Furnace Process are as follows:
1. Providing operators with the opportunity to see the inside of the furnace, contributing to the improvement of the
process and also reducing the maintenance costs through real-time monitoring,
2. Examining the temperature distribution diagram,
3. Operators will be able to quickly detect any abnormal condition or equipment failure in the furnace equipments.
With this imaging system
• Whether the flow of material is regular or irregular,
• Whether there is any wear and damage in the rotary gutter,
• From which area the furnace works as a result of gas permeability,
• Amount of raw material powder,
• How open the oven's center is, etc. provides information on issues.

Iskenderun Iron and Steel Co. (ISDEMIR) has four blast furnaces(BF) 80-90% liquid crude iron is used in basic oxygen
furnece (BOF). Liquid crude iro is transfer to BOF by torpedocars.The purpose of our application is monitoring the level
of crued liquid iron filling the the blast furnace. With this application, we get the production values of the Blast Furnace
and arrange logistics of the torpedocars. The other advantages of this application are as follows;
1. BF workers can monitor the blast furnace process and ensure that the furnace to help understand the rate of discharge,
2. Helps to monitor the full aperture of the drain hole to empty the BF,
3. To be able to understand when the furnace should be closed with instant tonnage information,
4. To make the maneuvering program of the logistics maneuver better, Obtaining data about refractory thickness,
5. Increasing data and digitalization of demonstrable about BF process
In addition, the advantages of location tracking system with wireless RFID, which is established for maneuvering of
torpedocars. and locomotives, are as follows:
1. Digitally tagged and numbered for easy tracking of torpedocars. and locomotives,
2. Tracking of torpedocars.refractory thicknesses can be monitored faster via ID,
3. Time and speed data of logistics maneuvers have been obtained,
4. All employees in the iron and steel production can follow the torpedocars. through the system. This system is finish the
verbal communication,
5. The operating times and maintenance times of the locomotives can be monitored.
