The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to Missouri University of Science and Technology to develop a prototype fiber optic based sensor that can function directly in the extreme conditions of the steelmaking production environment. This device would sense temperature and chemistry changes in the steelmaking process to aid in the improved safety, energy efficiency, production, quality, and yield of steelmaking plants.
