SOLUTION SERVICE 3D SCAN END OF LIFE

3D Scan Furnace Intelligence

Get accurate corrosion profiles of individual refractory blocks, inspect your furnace before start-up or after cold stop, and much more with the SEFPRO 3D scan analysis service.

Capture the reality of your furnace with advanced post-treatment of 3D scan images

The more you know about your furnace, the more data you collect, and the more precisely you can predict its behavior, fine-tune its design and adjust operating conditions. That's why glassmakers try to gather as much information as possible after a shutdown and following critical repairs. Imagine having all the time you need to analyze every aspect of your furnace by accessing data even years later. Now it's possible with the SEFPRO 3D scan service: you can capture the reality of your furnace without any safety risks and leverage on detailed indicators obtained through powerful image analysis tools.
3D scan service after a shutdown

A cutting-edge technology

Thanks to the use of high precision laser scanning equipment, every detail of your furnace is recorded. Every millimeter is captured within few hours and a virtual visit viewer is readily accessible. Data acquisition is just the beginning… Our experts then thoroughly analyze the raw data acquired, generate a high-resolution digital mock-up, and evaluate important performance and quality indicators. Now, you can assess critical information about your furnace anywhere and anytime.

Endless possibilities

Get accurate wear profiles of individual refractory blocks, measure corroded volumes and depths, understand main corrosion mechanisms and their likely root causes. Do a pre-campaign installation quality check and inspect your furnace at different stages. Examine inaccessible areas and so much more. Our experts will share their analysis and recommendations with you, the result of a thorough analysis of every valuable detail of your furnace.

Example of analysis

Corrosion assessment video tour of the furnace

Virtual tour and recommendations

The virtual tour allows 360° point cloud and imagery visit inside the furnace with a standard office computer. The typical outputs you can expect are: a colored and un-colored meshing, the possibility to make in-plane distance measurements and to add comments on the furnace construction/corrosion.

Corrosion evaluation and analysis

Thanks to the high accuracy of the scan and to the state-of-the-art image post-treatment tools developed by SEFPRO, a precise understanding of corrosion patterns is possible. The assessment of horizontal and vertical corrosion profiles and calculation of corroded volumes are standard results available from the service. Sampling can be performed at every centimeter! Upon request, in-depth analyses of specific critical areas such as throats and dog-house corners are possible.

Dimension assessment with 3D scan service

Wall and crown alignment

Keeping a 3D digital image of a repaired furnace can help glassmakers to identify installation imperfections, which can turn out to be critical areas during the furnace campaign, and eventually take action to monitor these locations. Misalignments are easily calculated and visualized so that potential issues can be spotted in advance.
