Simulation study demonstrates a virtual reality plant model for charcoal mini-blast furnaces, suggesting new pathways for industrial training, process control, and safety optimization.
A virtual reality (VR) model has been developed in the case of a generic green ironmaking industrial unit, namely a typical charcoal mini-blast furnace (CMBF) plant in Brazil. The VR prototype construction of the CMBF plant has been implemented through integration of data in different softwares and hardwares, including detailed engineering design of various auxiliary units and major equipments with realistic project parameters. Through the VR technology, one can actually have the unique experience visiting all parts of the CMBF plant, promote technical discussions on engineering and process control with users and improve information handling, communication, safety, maintenance procedures and development of advanced engineering projects in the field. VR industry-professional education platform can be used in universities, museums and industries with great benefits to students, workers and users.
