Process Optimisation Pic 1Based on the well established laser diffraction technique. the Malvern Insitec provides continuous monitoring of particle size for improved and consistent product quality together with reduced wastage and rationalisation of resources.

The traditional manual procedure of taking a sample to the particle analyser is fraught with the danger of operator error. With the EPCS 3 system the problem is eliminated with on-line measurement whereby sample material is channelled continuously through a bypass system running parallel to the main product stream. The method is therefore more reliable and much quicker than laboratory measurements.

The sampling technique ensures real time measurements under iso-kinetic conditions and thereby a full and accurate characterisation of the particulate. Data from the Malvern Insitec can be used manually or incorporated into the mill control system for automatic process control.

 



Performance Improvement using Data Mining

The process optimisation team at Hosokawa Micron are specialists in the application of advanced software techniques, combined with process plant control and operation of energy utilisation expertise, to improve the economic performance of process and plant.

Using data mining systems we are able to identify opportunities to improve performance from the analysis of operating data. Hosokawa Micron offer a suite of knowledge based solutions and performance optimisers to provide intelligent monitoring, operator advice, fault diagnosis and decision support.

Integrated software solutions are configured for each individual application with the aim being to deliver immediate benefits with little or no capital expenditure.

A typical software package or "toolkit" can include :-

  • Data Mining - Software tools to allow ongoing analysis of operating data, typically utilising existing sensors and controls.

  • Intelligent Monitoring - On line knowledge based systems comparing plant performance with targets and highlighting poor performance.

  • Advisory Systems - On line knowledge based systems providing consistent and ongoing advice for operators and management.

  • Fault Diagnosis - On line advice for operators and management about plant faults and potential areas of failure or mal-operation.

  • Optimisation - Providing advice on more effective ways to operate process and plant.
