Control and Optimization of Steel Dust Rotary Kiln Operations through FLOGEN CONTOP System Florian Kongoli1; Marcos De Souza2; 1FLOGEN TECHNOLOGIES INC., Mont-Royal, Canada; 2FLOGEN TECHNOLOGIES INC, Sao Paulo, Brazil; PAPER: 483/Recycling/Keynote (Oral) SCHEDULED: 11:45/Sat. 26 Oct. 2019/Adonis ABSTRACT: FLOGEN Decision Making, Control, and Optimization system has been applied in Waltz Rotary Kiln that produces Zn from steel dust. This resulted in simultaneously reducing the specific coke/coal consumption, maximizing Zn yield, decreasing Zn losses in the slag, minimizing accretions and balls inside the furnace, increasing the operational time without stoppages and enabled greater flexibility in using multiple raw materials. This paper presents some of the above results along with the most recent developments of application in other processes |
