Research on working condition recognition of Cement Precalciner based on Expert System

The precalciner plays an important in the production of cement. Most cement plants rely on the experiences of operators to control the operations for the production of cement for best quality and control. This paper summarizes the application of an Expert System to recognize the working condition or state of the precalciner of a clinker production unit for a cement plant. An expert system mimics the fore mentioned operator knowledge and experience in the form that a computer understands and give suggestion and strategies for the control system based upon the current state of the system. Simulation shows that the system could determine the state of the precalciner and showed effective inference.
