Abstract
A model-assisted method is used for designing the control strategy for the new LKAB hematite plant in Malmberget (Sweden). Steady-state and dynamic pr ocess simulations successively help to select strategic controlled and mani pulated variables, and specify the corresponding instrumentation. The contr ol system implemented in the plant reflects the conclusions of the study. I t includes an optimising control system based on Svedala-Cisa OCS(C) softwa re: with a fuzzy logic expert system, a dynamic model of the process and an optimiser. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A.
