Jindal Stainless Ltd. issued the final acceptance certificate for the new level-2-process automation on AOD converter #1 to Primetals Technologies in April 2019.

The AOD converter was equipped with a level-1-system and brought into operation by a third party in 2010. Jindal Stainless Ltd. subsequently developed its own solution to optimize the implemented level-2-system. This has now been replaced by a new, comprehensive level-2-system from Primetals Technologies that includes a dynamic process model. After running the old and new systems in parallel, the hot commissioning of the new level-2- system from Primetals Technologies was successfully completed in just two weeks. Process stability has been substantially increased, and accuracy for the calculation of the development of carbon and temperature in real time during production has been improved. Furthermore, the system offers greater insights and a better overview of the production process.

Rapid modernization and integration of the level-2-system

After a number of years of operation, Jindal Stainless Ltd. decided to modernize the level-2-system it had developed for AOD converter #1 at its steel works in Jajpur, Odisha. The AOD converter was brought into operation with a level-1-system by a third party in 2010. The level-2-system for AOD converters from Primetals Technologies offers a large number of interfaces as standard. These were adapted to the existing IT environment at Jindal Stainless Ltd prior to commissioning. Peter Juza, head of Electrical Systems & Automation at Primetals Technologies in Linz, expressed his satisfaction with the result, 'The professional preparation and constructive cooperation between experts from Jindal Stainless Ltd., Primetals Technologies India and Primetals Technologies Austria enabled the hot commissioning to be completed successfully in just two weeks.' During the commissioning and integration of the level-2-system into the plant, several optimization measures were carried out on the existing level-1-system to enable Jindal Stainless Ltd. to enjoy efficient, trouble-free operation.
