Abstract
The present invention describes non-invasive online system for discrete measurements of phase levels in a converter or pyrometallurgical furnace in smelting and conversion processes, applying mechanical waves generated by a transducer placed transversally to an air blowing tuyere. Multiple transducers are placed in the direction of the cross axis or longitudinal axis of the phases plane and facing the different limiting zones between the different phases present inside the converter or pyrometallurgical furnace. A mechanical waves sensor or detector that receives the signal (echo pulses) reflected by the different limiting zones so as to determine the amplitude of the reflected signal that has a characteristic and different level for each phase, correlate the amplitude and determine the limiting zone of the phases that face the transducers.
