iEAF® Net Energy Control

iEAF® dynamic melting control uses fundamental thermodynamic and kinetic relationships along with traditional “kWh per ton” control logic to pace every heat the same way irrespective of the heat’s actual energy efficiency.  Using novel sensors combined with mathematical models to achieve a mass energy balance.  Novel sensors include:

Off-gas temperature/pressure/flow-rate

Slag and liquid weight measurement or calculation

iEAF® dynamic refining control uses endpoint detection to facilitate temperature and carbon conditions to be reached in a dynamically optimized way.   The module uses data from the novel sensors combined with Bath & Slag process control models to:

Dynamically monitor and evaluate refining scenarios

Dynamically optimize the refining path by selecting optimum chemical and energy profiles

Determine when the endpoint condition (T and C) is reached
