Abstract

To improve the methods used in smelting, it is recommended that the 1033-m3 blast furnace at the Chusovoi plant be equipped with an efficient automation system based on the use of programmable controllers and the “Smelter Adviser” expert system. This will make it possible to more reliably evaluate the current state of the smelting operation and to use efficient coordinated control actions. The anticipated effects of those actions during smelting are substantiated by modeling. It is also possible to calculate many different generalized indices of the thermal state of the furnace and coefficients used in factor analysis. Those indices and coefficients are needed to comparatively analyze and plan the operation of the blast furnace. The computer-based “Smelter Adviser” expert system can also be used as a trainer to teach blast-furnace operators new techniques for conducting a heat with the use of information technologies and computer technology.
