GEOSCAN-S

Steel plants rely on consistent raw materials, sinter feed, fluxes, coke and scrap chemistry to maintain process stability and product quality. GEOSCAN-S provides continuous elemental measurement of conveyed steelmaking materials, helping operators detect variability, manage blends and reduce the risk of process upset from uncontrolled feed chemistry.

Key Benefits

Maintain consistent feed quality to steelmaking processes

Reduce reliance on delayed laboratory results

Detect and respond to material variability early

Enable data driven operational decisions

Support blending and raw material control strategies

Proven Performance

The GEOSCAN-S is deployed globally across steel industry applications, delivering reliable performance in demanding environments

Continuous operation in harsh industrial conditions

No wear parts, resulting in low maintenance requirements

Proven performance across a wide range of raw material and steel applications

Supported by a global service and support network

Technology

GEOSCAN-S uses Prompt Gamma Neutron Activation Analysis (PGNAA) to measure elemental composition across the full conveyed flow of raw materials, sinter feed and selected scrap streams. The system is calibrated for the specific material and process objective, giving operators continuous chemistry data for operational control.

Applications

Typical applications within steel operations include:

  • Raw material quality monitoring
  • Sinter feed control
  • Blast furnace feed monitoring
  • Scrap steel quality monitoring
  • Additive and blend control

Role in Process Control

The GEOSCAN-S operates as part of a broader measurement and control strategy within steel operations.

It enables:

  • Feed forward control of downstream steelmaking processes
  • Feedback control of blending and raw material preparation
  • Continuous monitoring of feed quality and composition
  • Continuous decision support for operators managing material variability

Unique Capabilities

  • Customised specification for different applications
  • Measurement times 30 seconds, 2 minutes (standard) to 10 minutes, or longer
  • Custom calibrations developed for specific materials and operating requirements
  • Measures elements for superior B4 (Si, Al, Ca, Mg) sinter basicity
  • Measures elements to lower detection levels over shorter measurement times at precisions no other product or vendor can achieve
  • Non-contact with conveyor or material
