A CFD STUDY ON THE IMPACT OF BARRIERS AND NONUNIFORMITIES ON FURNACE TAPPING
Olsen, Jan Erik (SINTEF Proceedings;6, Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2020)Tapping of slag and metal from metal producing furnaces are often inconsistent and it is difficult to predict the outcome of the process. Nonuniformities in the particle bed has been hypothesized as reasons for inconsistent ... -
Cleaning of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) obtained from ferroalloys plant
Panjwani, Balram; Andersson, Stefan; Wittgens, Bernd; Olsen, Jan Erik (Chapter, 2017)Polycyclic Aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are organic compounds consisting of only hydrogen and aromatic carbon rings.

Combustion chamber scaling for energy recovery from furnace process gas: waste to value
Panjwani, Balram; Wittgens, Bernd; Olsen, Jan Erik (SINTEF proceedings;2387-4295, Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2017)The dense discrete phase model (DDPM) is a promising method for detailed simulation of fluidized bed reactors. It can resolve particle clusters on much coarser grids than the conventional two fluid model (TFM) and allows ... -
Conceptual Tapping Model of Mn-Ferroalloy Furnaces
Tangstad, Merete; Olsen, Jan Erik; Ringdalen, Eli; Ksiazek, Michal Tomasz; Reynolds, Quinn; Steenkamp, Joalet (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The tapping process of submerged arc furnaces, like the Mn-ferroalloy production process, is when you drain the liquid metal and slag from the furnace. The optimal tapping process is when slag and metal is drained from the ... -
Gassing During Tapping of Silicon
Vachaparambil, Kurian J.; Panjwani, Balram; Olsen, Jan Erik (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)During tapping of metal from silicon furnaces, a significant amount of gas is often released through the tap-hole. The gas is combustible, and a flame jet is created which poses a safety threat to operators. Due to the ... -
Governing physics of shallow and deep subsea gas release
Olsen, Jan Erik; Skjetne, Paal (SINTEF Proceedings;1, Chapter; Conference object; Peer reviewed, 2015)A modelling concept for studying the resulting bubble plume from a subsea gas release is presented. Simulation results show good consistency with available experimental data. The modelling concept is applied to assess the ... -
Mass transfer between bubbles and seawater
Olsen, Jan Erik; Dunnebier, Dorien; Davies, Emlyn John; Skjetne, Paal; Morud, John (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)Mass transfer between bubbles and seawater is an important mechanism when determining how much gas reaches the atmosphere from gas sources at the seabed. The mass transfer coefficient is a governing parameter for the ... -
Mathematical Modeling of Furnace Drainage While Tapping Slag and Metal Through a Single Tap-Hole
Olsen, Jan Erik; Reynolds, Quinn Gareth (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Furnace tapping is a critical operation on pyrometallurgical furnaces known for unpredictable performance in many cases. A reduced order mathematical model capable of predicting tapping rates of both slag and metal is ... -
Modelling of the Ferrosilicon furnace: effect of boundary conditions and burst
Panjwani, Balram; Olsen, Jan Erik; Wittgens, Bernd (SINTEF Proceedings;1, Chapter; Conference object; Peer reviewed, 2015)A by-product from the ferrosilicon process is process gas which escapes into the furnace hood were it reacts with air. The process gas mainly consists of CO with some SiO and moisture. Modeling the gas behavior inside the ... -
