Abstract
The objective of the automatic combustion control is to guarantee
the operational stability of the coke batteries based on the control
of the coking time and consequently, minimize the reduction of useful
life of the ovens. This control is guided by a mathematical model
whose inputs are process variables and raw materials parameters
and outputs are combustion parameters. Therefore, this paper will
present the evolution of the performance of the burning process,
providing a stability of the coking time.
