Objective
The main aim of the project is to study and to optimise the sinter strand charging device as well as the feeding practice, in order to improve bed homogeneity and permeability. The first new aspect of this project is to explain the complex phenomena occurring during the strand feeding operation and to propose simple and cheap ways to optimise "classical" feeding device such as permeability bars. The second innovative aspect concern the development of an on-line measurement of crude bed permeability, allowing early feed back adjustment of operating parameters. The project leads to an improvement of both bed permeability and homogeneity. Thus, depending of the industrial context of each company, we can expect to increase productivity of sinter plant (5 to 10%), or to decrease sinter cost through a lower burnt lime ratio (5 to 10%) or a cheaper iron ores mixture.
