The application software “Integrated Solution for Sinter Plant and
Blast Furnace Charging” is presented. This is a decision-making
support system that includes a mathematical model for the automatic
and optimized generation of charging solutions for the sinter plant
and blast furnace processes.
This model assures the quality specifications of the products, environmental
limits as well as availability of materials, with particular
focus on the operational stability. Furthermore, it allows managerial
analysis including the acquisition strategies of new consumables
and fuels.
