Fuzzy logic based moisture control in sinter plant

In the sinter plants, sinter production which is the largest input material of the blast furnace is produced by melting the fine ore with fine coke. In order to sinter the fine ore in the desired quality, the moisture in sinter raw mix must be adjusted with very precise gauging. In this study, an application of the moisture control model which optimizes moisture in the raw mix with fuzzy logic approach is explained in the Iskenderun Iron & Steel (ISDEMIR) sinter plant.
