On March 5, CIVS Director Chenn Zhou gave a lecture at the AIST Steel Mill Combustion and Thermal Systems Training Conference in Atlanta, GA. Dr. Zhou’s lecture was titled “Use of Data Verified Tools and Visualization for System Troubleshooting and Optimization”.

Advanced computer simulation and visualization technologies are increasingly playing a key role for system troubleshooting and optimization in steel manufacturing. These technologies can provide coherent understandings of complex phenomena and processes, and enable faster and better decision-making for process design, optimization, troubleshooting, scale-up and training. The Steel Manufacturing Simulation and Visualization Consortium (SMSVC) has been formed with the mission to develop and implement innovative technical solutions, through the integration of advanced computer simulation and visualization technologies. To-date research outcomes include improved energy efficiencies, productivity and product quality, as well as reduced CO2 and other emissions, time and cost. The presentation included an overview of the SMSVC projects, simulation and visualization technologies and methodologies, as well as high-impact project examples in various ironmaking and steelmaking processes.

At the conference, industry leaders, engineers, and experts came together to tackle steel combustion challenges and explore groundbreaking strategies to enhance system efficiency. Presentations captured best practices for optimizing thermally-driven energy performance and reducing emissions, data-driven insights and advanced energy optimization techniques, decarbonization strategies and so much more. Attendees finished off the seminar with a tour of Georgia Institute of Technology Combustion Lab making for an altogether well-rounded learning experience.
