Abstract :
Model predictive control (MPC) of an electric arc furnace (EAF) off-gas process combined with temperature control is investigated. A more predictable process, safer working environment, cleaner emission gases and reduced energy wastage are some of the advantages obtained by controlling relative furnace pressure, CO-emission and temperature
