Program Overview
This expert-led program on ironmaking decision control is designed for operations professionals in the steel manufacturing sector and addresses recurring furnace instability and productivity loss caused by delayed or incorrect operational decisions. Participants will gain the ability to identify early instability signals and take corrective actions before performance degrades. The program uses expert-led plant scenarios and decision breakdowns to ensure practical application.
Features
- Identify early operational decision points that silently destabilize furnace performance
- Make raw material, burden, and fuel decisions that protect furnace stability under variability
- Intervene at the right moment to prevent minor instability from becoming major loss
- Apply a personal decision framework to maintain long-term furnace health under pressure
Target audiences
- Blast Furnace Managers
- Process Engineers
- Production Leads
- Metallurgy Engineers
