- Abstract
- Sinter making process in an integrated steel plant substantially depends on efficacious functioning of series of operations. Owing to their complex nature and frequent process fluctuations, a precision automation system is imperative in each of these operations. A state-of-the-art Programmable Automation Controller (PAC) based automation system has been developed and successfully implemented for operation and control of Sinter Machine # 3 at Bokaro Steel Plant of Steel Authority of India Limited, India. The new system renders a comprehensive process control and visualization system for entire Sinter Machine. The application of advanced process automation system has significantly improved the plant performance and reduced the energy consumption.
