01IRONMAKING & HOT BLAST

IRONMAKING & HOT BLAST

Control air, gas and cooling around the blast furnace.

Blast furnaces and hot-blast stoves depend on coordinated gas, air and cooling-water systems for stable iron production.

WHERE IT IS USED
  • Hot-blast stoves
  • Blast-furnace gas mains
  • Cooling water circuits
  • Pulverized coal injection
APPLICATION CHALLENGE

High temperatures, dust-laden gas and large duct sizes create sealing, erosion and actuation challenges.

VORNET APPROACH

Metal-seated butterfly, gate and specialized gas valves are configured for temperature, dust loading and operating frequency.

02COKE OVEN & BY-PRODUCT GAS

COKE OVEN & BY-PRODUCT GAS

Contain combustible and corrosive gas streams.

Coking and gas-cleaning systems collect coke-oven gas and recover tar, ammonia and other chemical by-products.

WHERE IT IS USED
  • Coke-oven gas headers
  • Gas cleaning trains
  • Tar and ammonia recovery
  • Fuel gas distribution
APPLICATION CHALLENGE

Dirty gas, condensates and corrosive compounds can foul cavities and attack sealing materials.

VORNET APPROACH

Low-cavity valve designs, suitable corrosion-resistant materials and dependable stem seals support safe gas routing.

03STEELMAKING & CASTING

STEELMAKING & CASTING

Coordinate oxygen, fuel, cooling and process gases.

Converters, electric arc furnaces and continuous casters use multiple utility and process systems in tightly sequenced operations.

WHERE IT IS USED
  • Oxygen and fuel gas
  • Argon and nitrogen
  • Furnace cooling water
  • Continuous casting systems
APPLICATION CHALLENGE

Rapid cycles, combustible gases and cooling reliability make tight shutoff and repeatable actuation essential.

VORNET APPROACH

Application-specific ball, globe and check valves are paired with automation suited to the plant control sequence.

04ROLLING MILL & PLANT UTILITIES

ROLLING MILL & PLANT UTILITIES

Keep finishing lines and utilities available.

Rolling, pickling and finishing lines rely on hydraulic, cooling, descaling, steam and chemical service systems.

WHERE IT IS USED
  • High-pressure descaling
  • Roll cooling
  • Pickling lines
  • Steam, air and hydraulic utilities
APPLICATION CHALLENGE

Scale, high-velocity water, acids and frequent cycling produce different wear and corrosion risks across the mill.

VORNET APPROACH

Valve type, body material, trim and actuation are selected separately for water, chemical and utility functions.
