英国蓝环(Blue-circle)公司自1982年开始就在本公司的水泥制造窑中试验最佳利用能量的新方法。制造厂家的目标是持续生产高质量的水泥产品,并尽可能降低能耗。烧窑过程不仅耗能多,也很复杂,受很多因素支配。如原材料组分的改变、随机过程干扰、长的时间滞后以及恶劣的工作环境。过去将计算机应用于过程的监督控制, Blue-circle, the UK company, has been experimenting with new ways to make the best use of energy in its cement kilns since 1982. The goal of the manufacturer is to continuously produce high-quality cement products and to minimize energy consumption. Burning process not only consume more energy, but also very complicated, subject to many factors. Such as changes in the composition of raw materials, random process interference, long time lag and poor working environment. In the past, computers were used to supervise and control the process,
