Abstract
The authors developed a fuzzy relational model for an industrial wood chip refining process. In conjunction with an optimization technique, this model is used either to minimize energy consumption of the refine r operation while maintaining pulp properties within acceptable limits , or to optimize the pulp properties within the refiner operation rang e. The model has been implemented in a western Canadian pulp and paper mill.
