We have developed a particularly robust and precise design methodology for Small Blast Furnace, Medium Blast Furnace applications. This refined system allows us to offer tailored, cost-effective solutions, ensuring our clients receive the most competitive ironmaking plant for their specific needs.

Small Blast Furnace, Medium Blast Furnace, Blast Furnace Design

Overview

HBMER brings together decades of integrated expertise in blast furnace ironmaking, combining independent innovation with proven engineering practices. Our team specializes in delivering comprehensive solutions across the entire metallurgical value chain—from feasibility studies and basic design to equipment supply, project management, and turnkey EPC delivery.  With a strong track record spanning projects from small-scale to ultra-large blast furnaces, HBMER has developed mature and differentiated technologies for Small Blast Furnace, Medium Blast Furnace applications.


The Technology Advantages

Through years of engineering practice and continuous innovation, HBMER has established a distinctive technological edge in blast furnace ironmaking. Our core strengths encompass high-efficiency long-life furnace technology, advanced casthouse equipment and processes, integrated system optimization, high-temperature hot stove technology with efficient dust removal, pulverized coal injection systems, and dry gas cleaning solutions.
The synergistic application of these technologies ensures blast furnace operations that are durable, efficient, low-consumption, and environmentally sound.


The Feeding Process
The Technical Characteristics

1、Integrated Material Handling Layout: Fuel storage, conveying, screening, and weighing are consolidated within a single structure—creating a streamlined, space-efficient configuration that simplifies operational oversight and enhances workflow coordination.
2、Combined Ore & Coke Conveying: By integrating the ore and coke transport systems into a unified feeding line, the process architecture is simplified, reducing duplication of equipment and lowering capital expenditure.
3、Direct Belt Conveyor Charging: Elimination of intermediate transfer stations allows direct feeding to the furnace top. This reduces material handling stages, minimizes degradation and fines generation, and improves overall fuel efficiency.
4、Optimized Burden Management: Incorporates sinter and coke screening prior to furnace entry, along with recovery systems for nut coke and small ore—maximizing resource utilization and maintaining stable furnace permeability.
These features collectively deliver a feeding system that is compact, efficient, and built for sustained operational performance.

BF Gas Dry Dedust Technology

HBMER has independently developed an advanced dry dedusting system for blast furnace gas cleaning. This proprietary technology reduces dust content in the clean gas to below 5 mg/Nm³, delivering superior gas quality with higher calorific value that effectively raises the theoretical combustion temperature in hot stoves. Compared to conventional wet dedusting methods, the system increases TRT power generation by 35–40% while achieving significant water and energy savings. The dry process also offers substantial environmental benefits, reduces engineering footprint, and lowers construction investment.


Technical Characteristics:
1. The whole process simulation analysis and design;
2. The high temperature adjustment, suitable for blast furnace top temperature of 50-350°C, the instantaneous temperature 500°C (less than 30 minutes) condition;
3. The high efficient and low dust conveying;
4. Large, efficient and intensive type dust collector, filter the longest time is 30 months;
5. The perfect automatic operating system.
