Furnace leads & converters – SCCM ALP

The converter hood is placed just above the converter or retort containing the feedstock to be treated and it ensures the capture of the fumes generated by the process.

The design of a converter hood must take into account :

The geometrical constraints for the installation of this auxiliary equipment (oxygen lance, sampling, additions feed chutes)
The multiple stresses to which the cooled elements are exposed (very high thermal loads, erosion-corrosion phenomena, etc.)
Reliability and safety of use
