Method and system for monitoring the operation of a carbon block baking plant

According to the invention, the furnace of the plant comprises partitions in which the hot gases for baking carbon blocks circulate, and heating manifolds (21, 22, 23) rotatable relative to the furnace and provided with burners or fuel injectors. Gas circulation lines (24) are provided along the par...

More Information
Summary:According to the invention, the furnace of the plant comprises partitions in which the hot gases for baking carbon blocks circulate, and heating manifolds (21, 22, 23) rotatable relative to the furnace and provided with burners or fuel injectors. Gas circulation lines (24) are provided along the partitions between an air blowing leg (20) and a corresponding gas suction leg (12). In order to detect even a partial clogging of a partition, the method comprises the following continuous operations: a) for each gas circulation line, recording at least one measured parameter from among the temperature, the pressure, the flow rate and the oxygen and carbon monoxide concentrations; b) evaluating at least one factor from said measured parameters; c) comparing said factor with a corresponding reference value; d) transmitting a malfunction signal when the comparison between the factor and the corresponding reference value does not meet predetermined safety criteria.
