Abstract:
KIVCET furnace incorporates in itself three distinct areas: Flash Reaction Zone, Coke/under-coke lawyer zone and Electric Furnace zone. The products flows from each zone to the other in a continuous mode. Each of these zones have their own operating parameters and as such, in its entirely, the control of KIVCET furnace involves managing of these numerous parameters from various zones. This is not an easy task when performed only with engineer/operator experience and separately for each zone. In this paper a new control technique will be described as applied in Portovesme Company. This technique overcomes many problems since it manages the parameters from different zones simultaneously in order to assure good quality of the products, high productivity and efficiency and protection of refractories.
