Besides, all above aims must simultaneously fulfil the limits and constrains such as limits of NOx emissions, uniform oxygen concentration within the furnace, elimination of uncomplete combustion and hot spots, increase the scraps share in feedstock without decreasing of Al quality and improve overall process efficiency.
Therefore, because of this deliverable, a Digital Twin has been provided by IEN that allows quick testing of different operational scenarios and virtual prototyping of the new solutions. This DT of the melting furnace will be integrated in the Decision Support System (DSS) of the project in the next months.
