Dynamic modelling and control of the vacuum degassing process

Project Information

Grant agreement ID: 7210-CC-121

Project closed

Start date 1 July 1996

End date 30 June 1999

Funded under

• Medium-term guidelines for the ECSC steel RTD programme of research and pilot/demonstration projects, 1996-2002

Total cost € 1 248 500,00

EU contribution € 749 100,00

Objective

During this project a process control system shall be developed for vacuum treatment in ladle degassing stations or similar facilities. By means of dynamic process models for decarburization, desulphurisation, denitrogenation and dehydrogenation, the vacuum treatment time shall be predicted. In addition, the effects of various vacuum process parameters on steel castability, cleanliness, gas and exhaust gas flow and composition need to be taken into account.
