Abstract
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.
