Abstract

State-of-the-art systems used for plant monitoring and optimization fail to efficiently monitor and improve the performance of blast furnace ironmaking plants due to complexity of such plants. In addition, they attempt optimization without considering the operational stability of the blast furnace. The disclosure herein generally relates to industrial plant monitoring, and, more particularly, to a method and system for ironmaking plant optimization. The system determines an operational stability of the plant in terms of value of a determined Blast Furnace Stability Index (BFSI). Further, if the BFSI or one or more Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) of the plant deviates from corresponding threshold, then the optimization is done.
