Fuzzy control of micum strength for iron ore sinter

Abstract

The proper performance of sinter plants is vital for efficient and uniformly blast furnace operations. For smooth sinter plants operation, changes to the operating conditions should be few and precise. This paper explains advisory platforms that supply control strategies and sinter quality estimations to the plant operators, developing mathematical model, which are able to advise them about the necessary decisions to improve sinter quality. These models, based on Fuzzy Logic sets, have been developed to supply control strategies and sinter quality estimations to the plant operators at a Spanish factory. © 2006 ISIJ.
