摘要

ABSTRACT TITLE: A SINTER MIX PERMEABILITY MAXIMIZATION SYSTEM BY CONTROLLED GRANULATION AND BED VOIDAGE FOR INCREASING PRODUCTIVITY OF SINTER MACHINES AND A METHOD THEREOF. The present invention relates to a sinter mix permeability maximization system by controlled granulation and bed voidage for increasing productivity of sinter machines through water flow control in balling drum and a method of its implementation. The invention provides system and method for maximization of bed permeability as a function of green mix moisture wherein the water flow rate is controlled to operate the process maintaining permeability close to the Pmax value of the parabolic permeability-moisture curve involving continuous on-line feed backward system wherein computer evaluated intended moisture content in the sinter mix is continually fed to continuously activate corresponding changes in flow of feed water into the balling drum implemented through a Level-II PLC based process control system leading to increase in sinter machine speed and thus increasing the productivity of sinter plant.
