MUMBAI, India, Nov. 2 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202617092029 A) filed by Primetals Technologies Austria; and Voestalpine Stahl Gmbh on July 29, 2026, for Characterisation Of A Smelting Process.
Inventors include Staudinger, Clemens; Tauber, Christian; Bettinger, Dieter; Feilmayr, Christoph; Krahwinkler, Petra; Lumetzberger, Wolfgang; Schaler, Martin; and Schuster, Stefan.
The application for the patent was published on October 30, 2026, under issue no. 44/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method (100) and a system (10) for characterising a smelting process in a blast furnace (3), to a smelting plant (1) and to a method (200; 300) for machine learning of models (16; 24) which can be used in such a method (100) and system (10). Parameter values (A, B, C, D, E) of a predetermined number of different process parameters are determined (S1) for the smelting process currently taking place in the blast furnace (3). Preferably, at least one of the process parameters represents a gas distribution of the blast furnace (3). A machine-learned model (16) assigns (S2) a blast furnace operating state (30), defined by the parameter values (A, B, C, D, E), to an operating category (X, Y, Z) on the basis of the determined parameter values (A, B, C, D, E).
