Mathematical Modelling for Blast Furnace Process Options

We offer a model that provides a rapid and simple method for investigating various strategic options in a Steelworks, plus a flow chart showing the steady state material, fuel and electricity flows, together with important process variables and purchased material costs.

Customer benefits

Discovering the true “value in use” of imports and “value for sale” of by-products.
Reconciling apparent imbalances in materials and utilities due to poor measurement.
Investigating the effects of increasing the recycle of revert materials, particularly in respect to cost savings and the build-up of tramp elements. calculating the current and projected emissions of CO2, SO2 and NOx .
Used on Corus plants.
Can be fitted retrospectively.
