Blast Furnaces & Steelmaking: Contamination Control in Extreme Environments

I. Molten Metal Meets Precision Lubrication

Blast furnaces present filtration’s ultimate challenge:

• 150°C ambient temperatures degrading oxidation stability

• Coal/coke dust (<10µm) infiltrating lubrication systems

• Thermal cycling causing water condensation in reservoirs

II. Mission-Critical Applications

1. Blower Turbines:

   • ISO 4406 12/10/7 requirement for 30MW+ units

   • Turbine oil conditioning protocol:
