The Application of Fuzzy Reasoning in Cement Particle Size Soft Sensor

Abstract:

In the cement production process, cement quality is the most important indicator. One way to measure the quality of the cement is the cement particle size. Only the cement particle size is symmetrical and the specific surface area could reach the national standard that this kind of cement is qualified products. In actual production, the specific surface area is tested in laboratory through experiment. This process takes a long time, and the instantaneous value of specific surface area can not be got. This paper, auxiliary variables coming from the practical production site are used to get an instantaneous value through fuzzy control algorithm and other rules. VC++ 6.0 is used to program this algorithm. After a long period of actual operation, this method is proved to be effective, the instantaneous specific surface area is got and the precision is acceptable. This could guide the operator to change parameters of the equipment timely. This could be widely used and is easy to spread.
