State-of-the-art review of computer control in the steel industry

TL;DRAbstract

To develop and demonstrate cost-effective, energy-conserving programs, the Federal Government has implemented a cost-shared program with the iron and steel industry which, if successful, would significantly reduce the nation's dependence on all forms of energy, particularly on petroleum-based fuels. An appropriate Federal role is one of supporting development programs showing good potential of being economic, but not being funded by the private sector for various reasons, including (1) the risk of failure being such that the private sector will not undertake the work, and (2) benefits being so generally dispersed among different firms that no one private organization has sufficient incentive to fund the required research, development, and testing. This document provides the Department of Energy with a state-of-the-art assessment on computer control in the iron and steel industry and identifies program areas having energy-conservation potential by greater application of computer control
