Design and application of fuzzy logic control for semiautogenous grinding mill system

摘要

The paper is divided into three main sections. The first section gives an introduction in which the characteristics of model-based versus expert systems and fuzzy logic control are examined; it then goes on to describe the approach selection and the SAG mill process. The second section focuses on the design of experiments, goal-setting and the definition of the controller structure and its development. Finally, the third section is devoted to the implementation, commissioning and optimization of the controller. This section will also touch on training, maintenance, improvements and results achieved. Specific energy reduction, increased stability and throughput increase are among the main recommendations and conclusions.
