Today, the cement industry is one of the major air polluting industries in the world. Hence, in this study, owing to the importance and role of contaminants from the plant, an appraisal of the emission contributions in addition to other factors have been discussed. There are several reasons behind the importance of modeling air pollutants. First, the assessment of standards for air pollution, a...

Because of the existing interactions among the variables of a multiple input-multiple output (MIMO) nonlinear system, its identification is a difficult task, particularly in the presence of uncertainties. Cement rotary kiln (CRK) is a MIMO nonlinear system in the cement factory with a complicated mechanism and uncertain disturbances. The identification of CRK is very important for different pur...

Levels of asbestos fibers in air at work zone in asbestos-cement (AC) sheets manufacturing factory, M/s Sturdy Industries Ltd, Patiala, Punjab have been studied. Air samples were collected from fiber godown, ingredients mixing, AC sheet manufacturing and the main gate. Phase contrast and polarized microscopic observations on asbestos fibers collected on membrane filters suggests that they are c...

This paper describes the design and implementation of a domain-independent reusable coordination module. This module is at the heart of the ARCHON architecture and has been used in the development of cooperating multi-agent systems in a number of realworld industrial applications including: electricity distribution management, electricity transportation management, cement factory control, flexi...

This paper analyzes an existing maintenance management system in a cement factory in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia using a modified questionnaire. The analysis shows that there are strong areas such as predictive maintenance and maintenance automation. Other areas are found weak such as training programs and maintenance reporting. Some areas are found mix between strong and weak such as maintenan...
