Energy Saving in a Copper Smelter by means of Model Predictive Control

فصل «Energy Saving in a Copper Smelter by means of Model Predictive Control» از کتاب «Identification and Control» بر «ذوب مس» در حوزه «متالورژی مس» تمرکز دارد. محتوا مبانی علمی، روش‌های فنی و پیامدهای عملی موضوع را به‌صورت منسجم توضیح می‌دهد. برای انتخاب فرایند، طراحی واحد، تحلیل بهره‌برداری و رفع عیب در استخراج و پالایش مس مفید است.

This chapter presents an application of advanced control techniques on a copper smelter. The main objective of the control strategy is to keep the gas-circuit pressure at its desired value while achieving energy saving. Another objective of the control strategy is to reduce the risk of emissions. This chapter describes the design and implementation of the gas-circuit control. The discussion is relevant to process selection, plant design, operating analysis, and troubleshooting across copper extraction and refining and highlights the practical implications of the reported methods, evidence, or case study.
