METSO LAUNCHES UPDATED OPTIMUS PELLET OPTIMIZER

Optimus^TM Pellet optimizer is a digital optimizer system which runs the pellet plants at maximum profitability full automatically. The upgrade contains new embedded process intelligence that can assist plant operators make smart situational operating decisions and implement them decisions with modern advanced process control methods.

The Optimus^TM Pellet optimizer leverages a highly detailed thermodynamic grate model, which is now backed by operational data. It can control basically all the relevant parts of the process, including gas fans and dampers, and indurating temperature profile, thus ensuring that the processes run at the desired operating range. Moreover, it issues advice and warnings to operators to reveal important information about process bottlenecks that may otherwise go unnoticed.

Optimus^TM Pellet is part of Metso’s exhaustive suite of digital pellet plant solutions for iron ore pelletizing plants that help improve process performance, production capacity and product quality, as well as reduce energy consumption, the environmental impact, and operation and maintenance costs. These solutions include VisioPellet™, Pallet Car Condition Monitoring System and Training simulator, among others.
