  • Measurement of charge bank level in a metallurgical furnace
    Patent number: 9417321
    Abstract: Various systems and methods for monitoring the level of a feed material layer in a metallurgical furnace are described. At least one non-contact sensor is used to sense a distance between the feed layer and a reference position. A process controller linked to the sensor provides a control signal based upon the sensed distance. The control signal may be used to control various factors in the operation of the metallurgical furnace.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 26, 2011
    Date of Patent: August 16, 2016
    Assignee: Hatch Ltd.
    Inventors: Afshin Sadri, Ehsan Shameli, Roberto Venditti, Andrei Kepes, Terry Gerritsen, Sean Southall, Bruce Uyeda
