“New inline measurements and
closed loop process control
of high temperature processes”
Organization
VDEh-Betriebsforschungsinstitut (BFI) is one of the leading European providers of
application-focused R&D in the field of steelmaking and neighbored industries located in Düsseldorf, Germany, with a staff of 130 people. BFI's field of activities
covers the entire production process chain, from charged materials to the final
products. Core competences lie in the fields of process engineering, energy and
resources and measurement techniques / process automation.
Division “Measurement & Automation”: Measurements in the liquid phase
Measurements in the solid phase
Process automation in liquid phase
Process automation in solid phase
Quality Control and Information technology
 Measuring, testing (process and
product, mechatronics, always
online)
 Control (setup, open loop, closed
loop, manual support)
 Monitoring, supervision, diagnosis,
optimisation
 HMI, communication, protocols,
data acquisition, Data Mining, etc.

Relevant Call: SPIRE 1 “Integrated Process Control”
High temperature processes (> 500°C; in steel area e.g. sinter process, blast
furnace, scrap melting, secondary metallurgy; in other industries ….)
Local and distributed processes with uncertainties regarding quantity and quality
of input materials; sometimes long dead times, non-linear process behaviour
Inline measurement and modelling of properties of input materials (in steel area
e.g. chemical composition and metallic yield of scrap, bulk density of scrap or
coke, etc.; in other industries….)
Fast inline measurement of product properties (in steel area e.g. continuous
fiber-optical temperature measurement at high accuracy, etc.; in other industries:
…)
Continuous process monitoring by analysing results from new measurement
techniques (“Sensor Fusion” if necessary) in combination with dynamic process
models, application of soft-sensors if necessary
Advanced closed loop process control (e.g. control under uncertainties) for
optimisation of product quality and resource efficiency, based on the above
measurements, monitoring tools and predictive models
Demonstration of new integrated process control solutions in process industries

Idea Impact
Relation to SPIRE roadmap:
• SPIRE key component 2, Process
• Key action 2.3: Process monitoring, control and
optimization
Realisation areas:
•
Implementing measurement devices for all aspects of intermediate/final product
quality and their integration into process control
•
Robust optimization methods to local targeted process control and energy
supply
Cross-sectorial aspects:
• Applicable in all industries with high temperature
processes and the necessity to describe better the input
materials and to measure online additional product
features to optimise process control
