Latest Patents

The supplied information identifies one patent for Marc Schon: Method for Operating a Blast Furnace Plant. The invention describes a charging cycle in which raw materials are loaded into a material hopper, the hopper is pressure-equalized with the blast furnace, and its lower seal valve is opened to discharge the materials. To reduce explosion danger, offgas from at least one hot stove is transferred to the hopper and injected before the lower seal valve opens. This approach is intended to provide a cost-effective way to improve safety during top charging. The supplied record lists 1 patent.

Career Highlights

Schon’s listed invention focuses on integrating hot-stove offgas into the blast furnace charging process. The method connects the operation of the hot stove and material hopper to address a specific safety concern in industrial furnace systems. The supplied information associates him with Paul Wurth S.A.

Collaborations
