Sinter Controller

The Sinter Controller is a sintering process control system designed to assist sinter plant operators, process engineers, and plant managers in achieving optimized sintering processes. In the steel industry, challenges such as maintaining stable product quality, reducing operating costs, and meeting environmental regulations are paramount. The Sinter Controller addresses these challenges by increasing productivity, enhancing environmental compliance, and minimizing the need for manual inspection. It achieves this through precise raw mix feeding and moisture control, furnace temperature and pressure control, and effective waste gas recirculation control.

The Sinter Controller addresses critical customer demands by preventing process situations that could lead to production delays or reduced product quality. It stabilizes variations in product quality, ensuring the overall quality of the finished steel product. Additionally, the controller enhances environmental compliance by reducing emissions and coke consumption, ultimately lowering operating costs through decreased fuel consumption and raw material costs.

This advanced system features digital twin and simulation tools for testing, maintenance, and training, enhancing operational preparedness and minimizing risks. The raw mix feeding and moisture control functionality ensures stable moisture content in the raw mix, providing a consistent feed to the surge hopper. Furnace temperature and pressure control maintain stable surface ignition with precise gas and air flow, minimizing gas utilization. Waste gas recirculation control reduces emissions and coke consumption, contributing to a more sustainable operation.
