Abstract: The high-carbon ferromanganese furnace is a semi-continuous unit process, with a number of complex, and partly unknown mechanisms taking place inside it. The furnace operation has been characterized by fluctuations in vital process variables. Many of the operational problems are caused by the lack of information about the internal conditions. This paper presents an object-oriented model of the furnace and its future application in monitoring the furnace conditions. The object-orientation ensures that the model becomes easy to modify as new process knowledge is collected.
