Fuzzy Logic Based Cement Kiln Control

Abstract

This paper describes the techniques of computer control of rotary cement kiln through fuzzy logic, The automatic kiln control strategy is based on the priority management of different kiln control objectives and sub-objectives. These objectives for the rotary kiln have been developed to control the kiln effectively by tackling the unknown interdependence among the different process variables. The design methodology described in the present paper has been implemented and tested on a 2500 tons per day(tpd) capacity rotary kiln cement plant.
