Developing Software for the Feed-Control Systems of High-Power Aluminum Reduction Cells

  • Published:
Metallurgist Aims and scope

The current state of systems used to control the feeding of high-power electrolysis cells is examined. The article describes the creation of feed algorithms that send a separate signal to each punch of the electrolysis bath in order to correct the feed cycles in relation to alumina dissolution rate. The corrections are made with allowance for the boundary conditions of the process parameters.
