Abstract:
Reliable, safe and efficient operation are critical requirements for a competitive operation of metallurgical plants in today’s market. The operation requires continuous adjustment of parameters for start-ups, shut-downs and load changes. In addition, design problems and control instability issues can result in safety hazards, significant loss of system capacity and/or emissions to the environment [1]. Dynamic simulation of a system is the representation of the time-dependent transient operation of the real system being simulated. It can be used for addressing design optimization, control stability, environmental and safety aspects that would meet these requirements.Off-gas systems often become upsetting or limiting factors in metallurgical plants. This paper illustrates how the dynamic simulation of transient processes and of their control systems can be used in “real life” situations for these purposes, presenting the general approach and examples of its application to issues related to metallurgical off-gas systems.
