Objective
The objective of the project is to develop dynamic control functions for the wall mounted oxygen and carbon injectors as well as for the oxy-fuel burners of the EAF. The set points for each individual injector shall be determined depending on a signal for foamy slag detection, exhaust gas analysis values and dynamic model calculations. An optical distance sensor inside the burners shall detect the actual scrap load in front of each burner to control its operation duration and the oxygen to natural gas ratio.
Dynamic and automatic control of burners and injectors shall ensure their optimal operation in a reliable and reproducible way with stable slag foaming. Expected results are a decrease of tap-to-tap time and consumption of electrical energy and oxygen.
The aim tap analysis can be adjusted more accurately, the safety of furnace operation is improved, and the operator working time in front of the furnace can be reduced.
