    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.

    Abstract: Pulverizers are very critical equipment in overall functioning of a plant. They need to be controlled and monitored properly for the optimized operation of the pulverizers. A system and method for performance and health monitoring to optimize operation of a pulverizer is provided. The system comprises a digital twin that can mimic the performance of the pulverizer in real-time and assist the operators in decision making related to operation, maintenance and scheduling. The digital twin is configured to receives real-time sensor data from a plurality of data sources and provides real-time soft sensing of key health and performance parameters of the pulverizer. One more key aspect of the solution is the advisory system that alerts and recommends corrective actions in terms of parameters controlled through other equipment or changes in operation or design or changes in cleaning schedule.
