Computer based monitoring and targeting on a hot rolling mill. A demonstration at Brinsworth Strip Mills

Abstract

The installation of a computer based monitoring and targeting (M and T) system has enabled Brinsworth Strip Mills to highlight and implement energy saving opportunities which, in the three years since the system`s commissioning, have been worth over Pound 0.8 million. In 1986, the formation of Brinsworth Strip Mills as a financially independent unit within British Steel plc prompted a critical examination of energy consumption. A system of regular meter reading was set up, quickly to be replaced by a computer based monitoring and targeting system capable of identifying where and when energy and services were consumed. Over 100 sensors were installed to monitor gas, electricity, oil, water, compressed air, oxygen and nitrogen flows. The sensors were arranged so that consumption could be monitored according to area or, in the case of key users, according to plant item. (author)
