Specialists of R&D MGTU implement several projects aimed at improving the environment. The projects are based on machine vision and neural network technologies applied at industrial plants to decrease harmful air emissions.
R&D MGTU developed a gas leakage automatic recognition system and technology for coke-oven doors and gas exhaust ducts of top structures. The machine vision technology detects coke-oven gas leakages. The system is tested at the Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works. As part of the project, over 30 video cameras were installed to monitor and register online 24/7 gas leakages at coke-oven batteries No. 7 and 8, and gas leakages of gas exhaust ducts of top structures at coke-oven batteries No. 7, 8, 13 and 14. If there are any deviations from setpoints, software and hardware register such events in an interactive log and send relevant people an email message with an attached photo indicating time, the battery and oven number.
