Y. Qian et al., OPTIMIZATION OF A WOOD CHIP REFINING PROCESS-BASED ON FUZZY RELATIONAL MODELS, Computers & chemical engineering, 21, 1997, pp. 1137-1142
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.
