Integrated steel manufacturing processes depend on steelmaking gases, which fuel essential operations such as electricity generation, reheating furnaces, and sintering. However, optimizing gas distribution is challenging due to the dynamic nature of gas usage, leading to energy waste, increased costs, and higher carbon emissions. Integrated sites utilize Blast Furnace Gas (BFG), Coke Oven Gas (COG), and Converter Gas (BOFG), which are mixed with natural gas based on heating needs. Viridis Dispatch addresses these challenges with a non-intrusive approach, optimizing gas and steam distribution in integrated plants. By leveraging advanced AI techniques like machine learning and evolutionary algorithms, it simulates various operational scenarios to minimize flaring, enhance equipment performance, and boost energy generation while ensuring safety and operational efficiency.
