Summary:Combined top and submerged blowing with oxygen in the autothermic K-OBM converter is applicable in a wide field of steelmaking processes. Submerged blown oxygen serves in several applications as refining gas and carrier gas for solid materials such as powdered lime. Moreover, this technology can also be used for refining of ferro alloys, such as FeMn and FeCr, and for hot metal pre-treatment, such as dephosphorisation.
