Tenova Goodfellow launches Water Detection Technology for EAF
Tenova Goodfellow Inc has developed breakthrough water detection
technology that combines continuous and reliable EAF off gas analysis
for both H20 vapor and H2 together with proprietary software that
provides EAF operators with three distinct real time alerts indicating
the likelihood of a water leak.
It said “EFSOP Water Detection Technology? is the only commercially
available extractive or insitu system that is capable of continuously
analyzing EAF off-gas for both H2 and H20 vapor. When liquid water
enters the EAF, a portion will remain as H20 vapor and a portion will be
reduced to H2. Since the relative proportions cannot be predicted in
advance, effective water leak detection requires analysis of both H20
vapor and H2.”
The release added “EFSOP Water Detection TechnologyTM interprets the H2
and H20 vapor off-gas analysis with proprietary software that is capable
of differentiating between normal operations and situations when there
are abnormally high water levels in the EAF. The software is
self-training and dynamically adjusts for changing scrap conditions
(wet/dry/oily) to minimize the number of false alarms according to the
steel plant’s required set points. The System provides EAF operators
with three alert levels; Green for normal, Amber for caution, Red for
immediate action. “
