New Generation Control for Daily Aluminium Smelter Improvement Generation 3 Process Control for Potlines

Aluminium smelting is facing serious challenges in reducing energy consumption, increasing current efficiency and meeting constantly changing environmental expectations. Traditional control systems aim to achieve and maintain pre-determined smelter targets through adjusting process parameters in order to compensate for changes in inputs, operations and special causes of variation. These control systems are not designed to remove the causes of variation and cannot address the pace and complexity of the challenges in the industry.
