    Abstract:

    The optical process control system consists of an optical telescope which focuses on the light emitted by the high temperature off-gas. An optical fiber guides the light into a server, where it is analyzed by a spectrometer. The composition of some particular off-gas components are displayed in the form of process trend curves. By using the trends of these curves some information is obtained about the status of the process. This work makes a detailed analysis of the application of this technique in Pierce Smith Converters and concludes on the positive aspects as well as on the limitations of this technique.
