Abstract

This paper describes an expert system for the on-line diagnosis of blast-furnaces. The system monitors and takes the decisions through the analysis and evaluation of more than a hundred parameters considered as input variables. The main difference between the system proposed here and a classical diagnostic system is the coexistence of three different models of behaviour: one based on a theoretical model of behaviour of thermal status and permeability, a second empirical model based on the considerations given by the human experts, and a third model derived from the study of the real behaviour observed in the furnace over time, obtained by means of the study of historical files, using machine learning techniques.
