Fuzzy-based process control system of a bag-filter in cement manufacturing plant

Abstract

During the last years, in industrial process control, requirements for Continuous Emission Monitoring (CEM) have increased significantly. Most plants are investing in CEM systems in order to burn waste, obtain ISO 14000 and 18001 certification to protect operator's life. In this work, our approach describes development of a novel internet and fuzzy-based CEM system (IFCEMS). This system contains operator's stations for the bag filter's automation system and monitored using Internet. The object of the present installation consists of a suction ventilator, a bag filter and a system for collecting and evacuating the dust. To optimize the running of the bag filter workshop and ensure continuous control, the process based on one of the most powerful Artificial Intelligence techniques which is fuzzy logic involves the removal or filtration of smoke from the kiln and/or cement mill with control of temperature and pressure of the fumes.
