An Advanced Automation Package to Optimize Scarce Utilities

Energy and media consumptions optimization in water treatment plants represent a relevant step in green economy for steel plants. New intelligent data management combined with advanced control systems allows forecasting of the media needs, making it possible to request the exact quantity and flowrates to avoid water and energy waste. This innovation allows for cooling water to be provided precisely to each plant unit. The data management system provides detailed real-time monitoring for production and specific for process. The paper discusses the logic and results from the package installed in CMC’s Arizona plant, a pioneer in green steel.
