A reheating furnace is a critical component in value-added steel production. These furnaces can have a significant impact on product quality and total cost. Due to the higher efficiency of regenerative burners, a growing number of reheating furnaces are using this technology. To better understand the regenerative burner operation, a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis has been conducted to examine the transient and three dimensional flow characteristics in the No.3 reheating furnace at ArcelorMittal Steelton. Simulation results with traditional burners and regenerative burners have been analyzed to understand the effect of retrofitting a furnace with these more modern burners. The temperature distribution on the billets has also been monitored throughout the simulated heating process providing insight into the optimization of billet residence time and improvement of the product quality control process.
