We have conducted failure investigations in many blast furnace plants. Blast furnace hearth or taphole failures normally lead to significant downtime and loss of profits. In such assignments, we have identified the cause of damage, timing and damage mechanism. Chilled hearths are often caused by operational upsets. Determining cause and recovery analysis has assisted our clients in loss of profit determination and identified future mitigation actions.
