Abstract: In the cupola process, the key operational goals are to keep the iron properties within the specified limits and to maintain the required production rate. However, over the years it has not improved significantly and always relied on melting processes and loss of productivity. Therefore, it efficiently proposed a novel Incinerator-Melt Enhancement Framework which addresses the challenges in melting processes and loss of productivity. This framework introduced a Thaw-Degree perusal model it scrutinizes the melting rate based on the selection of optimum input parameters that enhance the melting process. In addition, an effective controller design O2-Scurtinizer model is used to regulate the O2 that integrates simple step-response testing and nonlinear optimization. Moreover, to handle fluctuations, it implements the Kiln Flicker Espial Technique to judge the stability of the furnace using the dynamic sampling method. Finally, the proposed system effectively enhances the melting process and the effects of variations in the air constituents resulting in better melting performance and reduced loss of production.
