Resource and Energy Saving Control of the Steelmaking Converter Process, Taking into Account Waste Recycling

With the development of the energy control system of iron and steel enterprises, the urgency of solving the problem of the resource and energy saving control of steelmaking processes increases, taking into account the reconfiguration of production to a new task, intensification of the processes of recycling of raw materials, as well as reducing the waste intensity of production. The way to solve the problem of resource and energy saving of steelmaking production is the creation of a computer system. It allows one to analyze the state of the refractory converter lining, calculation of the material and thermal balances, the amount of slag-forming materials, the quantitative characteristics of slag corrosion, as well as predict the phase and chemical composition of the slag in order to impart the properties necessary in the production of mineral binders and other building materials. The computer system allows one to identify complex fuzzy relationships between process parameters and issue recommendations on the resource and energy saving control of the converter process, taking into account the waste recycling. The testing of the computer system, according to the industrial data of the enterprises CherMF (PJSC Severstal) and PJSC NLMF, confirmed its operability and the possibility of its use at iron and steel enterprises.
