Application of Computer-Based Training Software Systems for Upgrade Training of the Process Personnel of Blast Furnace Shops

摘要

The NLMK has introduced a computer-based training software system (CTS) for advanced training of the process personnel. The implementation of the system made it possible to improve the personnel’s skills to the level required to control the thermal condition of the blast furnace. The CTS allows studying the transient dynamics in the channels of control of the thermal condition of the furnace, recognizing trends in the thermal condition, and training the personnel’s kills of making adequate decisions on change in the thermal condition of the furnace. The system helped to reduce the amount of off-grade iron in blast furnaces.
