Actions

C1_ meal temperature control through existing PID utilization

Alternative Solution: 1
Keep the existing manual operation, make a small and simple loop to control only the high temperature from the
refrence value as we can safe fuel only in the temperature increase stage.

The operator upon smooth operation shall put the refrence temperature and select the PID.

Example: Refrence value 950 Degree

Current temperature 955 Degree (Reduce -2.5 kg)
Current temperature 960 Degree ( Reduce -5 kg)
Current temperature 965 Degree (Reduce 8 kg)

We intentionlay write a very small reduction in fuel just as a start up for confidence building.

Alternative solution: 2
Keep the existing manual operation, instruct the operators to take small steps of fuel reduction
(i.e. 2.5 - 8 kg as mentioned above) as the C1_ meal temperature high than refrence value required

Reliability of C1_ temperature measurement

Kiln # 1 : ok
kiln # 2 : we face frequent issue about the thermocouple value wrong. We would recommend a second
thermocouple as per line # 1 moreover we will be started using TDF it shall be even more important

MPC (Model Predictive control) is enhanced artificial
intellegence programs operating the kilns. Usually the
suppliers give a complete model for customize
operation. This solution however is expensive
(Estimated cost 200,000 Dollars)

Fuzzy logic control with fine tunned for this C1

temperature control. Siemens or some company can
be hired with support of chris only to work on this
controller response.
