Optimization of the Blast Furnace Operating Modes for Identification of the Areas of Unimprovable Solutions

Abstract:

This work reviews the issues of modeling of the operating modes for a blast furnace and identification of areas of unimprovable solutions on a set of indicators of cast iron output, coke consumption, and thermal state. These areas define the boundaries of potential opportunities for achieving high values of quality of the blast-furnace processes on a set of real-life operating modes of a blast furnace. They also indicate the reserves of coke consumption reduction and output enhancement, which might be implemented by optimal choice of a blast furnace operating mode and which enable the reasonable choice of the operating mode of a blast furnace based on the potential opportunities for increasing the output, minimizing coke consumption for the specified coke quality and the specified requirements to the furnace thermal state.
