Blast Furnace Technology Development & Research I
State-of-the-art process control systems are currently utilized with the intention to optimize the production process for certain individual aggregates (e.g., blast furnace, sinter plant, etc.) based on locally and temporally limited information. In this paper, we present the most recent developments from Primetals Technologies for the level 2 systems for blast furnaces and sinter plants. Improved decision support and detailed process analysis are two points among many which benefit from our holistic approach. We demonstrate, with examples from recent installations, how plant operators and process engineers can extract maximum value from the seamless integration of holistic optimization models into the Primetals proven process optimization solution.
