Objective

The objective of the present proposal is to investigate the application of fuzzy logic and neural network-based systems to the control of iron-making processes. In particular, the objectives relate to control of blast furnace parameters, as well as advisory systems intended to optimise use of fuel and coke. The third objective is to use such strategies to aid in desulphurization of hot metal in torpedo ladles. Various control strategies will also be compared, e.g. adaptive model algorithmic control (AMAC), internal model control (IMC), fuzzy control strategies.
