A kiln control strategy that relies on consistent adjustment of parameters to maintain a stable back-end temperature can significantly improve the kiln performance. Such a control strategy, based on the 27 basic kiln conditions derived from burning-zone temperature, back-end temperature, and oxygen percent, has been developed and implemented with expert systems technology. The approach provides a simplified methodology that is independent of the kiln, and addresses the main requirements associated with developing expert system applications for kiln control. The methodology is described in detail, and results are presented. A method for displaying the complete kiln status without presenting any numerical values of parameters is described.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":350403,"journal":{"name":"[1993] Record of Conference Papers 35th IEEE Cement Industry Technical","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129223069","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pneumatic conveying systems remain the only type of equipment which is environmentally acceptable for loading, unloading and distribution of cement everywhere. With pneumatic unloading, it is fully acceptable to operate with open hatches. To help eliminate dust during the unloading process, the third boom section of the vacuum unloading arm has been redesigned by some companies within the industry to allow 360 degrees C operation. With this feature, the vacuum arm can reach all corners of the ship's hold and even vacuum cement from behind web frames and structural supports. This gives the pneumatic unloader the ability to unload a hold evenly, layer by layer without the creation of dust.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":350403,"journal":{"name":"[1993] Record of Conference Papers 35th IEEE Cement Industry Technical","volume":"os-19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127690725","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is possible to identify their effect on the mill system. A good production increase was attained. While this increase was at a coarser raw meal fineness, there was no adverse affect noted on the clinker quality or on the pyro system operation. The particle size distributions of the raw meal before and after the static classifier was replaced show a definite improvement in eliminating the coarse fraction in the raw meal. The data confirm that in addition to rotor speed control, common to all dynamic classifiers, the high efficiency classifier will also allow the slope of the particle size distribution to be varied. This is achieved by adjusting the guide vane settings. Particle size analyses confirm that a more uniform raw meal is being made.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":350403,"journal":{"name":"[1993] Record of Conference Papers 35th IEEE Cement Industry Technical","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124229311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Product line expansion and vertical integration have been key elements in diversification.
