A Bottom-Blown Oxygen Converter (BBOC) is a significant piece of equipment used in the production of steel through the process of converting molten iron into steel. This type of converter operates by injecting pure oxygen from the bottom of the vessel into a molten metal bath, typically iron and scrap metal, to oxidize unwanted elements, such as carbon and sulfur.
