Emissions can be reduced by 5 kg CO2/t-sinter (US EPA, 2010. p. 14).

Improved Process Control and Quality Assurance
With improved process control, operational parameters can be optimized and energy can be saved. In addition, improved process control is likely to result in increased productivity, improved safety and better product quality (US EPA, 2010). Quality assurance in sinter plant can be achieved by measurement of temperature and permeability directly beneath the strand by means of a measuring pallet. Knowledge-based and numerical application functions and simulation models were delopyed in this regard (BFI, 2012).
This measure is regarded to have high application potential in China, India and the US.
