Analytical Review of Electromagnetic Field Monitoring Systems for Primary Aluminum Production Plants

Abstract

This article discusses technologies that provide subsystems of automated process control systems (APCS) for obtaining primary aluminum. The paper presents a step-by-step analysis of existing technical solutions based on the global and Russian experience in the operation of electrolyzers. The analysis included studying the physical processes of the electrolyzer operation accounting for the influence of such physical processes on chemical processes. Attention is paid to the existing sensors and monitoring systems of the electromagnetic field. The analysis of the effect of the electromagnetic field on the technological process is formed. The results have revealed patterns of the studied effects. Thus, a method for assessing the technical condition of the electrolyzer based on the results of electromagnetic field diagnostics is proposed. The presented scientific research is a report published under the program «Philosophy of Science».
