  • Aspects of modelling, performance monitoring, control and optimisation are discussed, with particular reference to the application of SPEEDUP. A new facility is described which allows SPEEDUP to operate in conjunction with other systems and several examples are briefly given of its power and flexibility. In particular, its use in on-line applications alongside plant management and distributed control systems is described and how it can be used in scheduling/sequencing problems in investigating batch and cyclic problems.

  • A neural model predictive control strategy combining a neural network for plant identification and a nonlinear programming algorithm for solving nonlinear control problems is proposed. A constrained nonlinear optimization approach using successive quadratic programming cooperates with neural identification network is used to generate the optimum control law for the complicate continuous/batch chemical reactor systems that have inherent nonlinear dynamics. Based on our approach, we developed a neural model predictive controller(NMPC) which shows excellent performances on nonlinear, model-plant mismatch cases of chemical reactor systems.

  • A simulation modeling is necessary for the optimal design of a rice processing plant, which consists of a facility (a silo system) of rice drying and storage and a rice mill plant. In a rice processing plant, the production scheduling and the decision on capcity of each unit based on a queuing theory is very important and difficult. In this study a process-oriented simulation model was developed for the design of a rice drying and storage system with SLAMSYSTEM. The simulation model is capable of simulating virtually all the processing activities and provides work schedules which minimize total processing time , mean flow time and bottleneck of the plant system and estimate drying time for a batch in a drying silo. Model results were used for determination the size and capacity of each processing unit and for analyzing the performance of the plant . The developed model was actually applied to construct a grain silo system for rice drying and storage.

  • The major objective of this study is to develop an effective method to estimate ${\alpha}$ and ${\beta}$ in an aeration basin at a conventional activated sludge wastewater treatment plant. A series of unsteady state batch tests were simultaneously performed with clean water and mixed liquor in two batch reactors under identical operational conditions. Oxygen uptake rates (OURs) of the mixed liquor were measured during the tests. The results show that the OURs due to synthesis respiration and endogenous respiration were averaged about $17.96 mg/(l{\cdot}hr)$ and about $12.29mg/(l{\cdot}hr)$, respectively. The corresponding ${\alpha}$ and ${\beta}$ were ranged between 0.65 to 0.95, and between 0.88 to 0.93, respectively. Based on the overall experimental results, the proposed experimental test method and the proposed method for determination of ${\alpha}$ and ${\beta}$ are found to be relatively simple and easy to use in evaluating the characteristics of aeration systems.

  • An effective methodology is reported for the optimal design of multisite batch production/transportation and storage networks under uncertain demand forecasting. We assume that any given storage unit can store one material type which can be purchased from suppliers, internally produced, internally consumed, transported to or from other plant sites and/or sold to customers. We further assume that a storage unit is connected to all processing and transportation stages that consume/produce or move the material to which that storage unit is dedicated. Each processing stage transforms a set of feedstock materials or intermediates into a set of products with constant conversion factors. A batch transportation process can transfer one material or multiple materials at once between plant sites. The objective for optimization is to minimize the probability averaged total cost composed of raw material procurement, processing setup, transportation setup and inventory holding costs as well as the capital costs of processing stages and storage units. A novel production and inventory analysis formulation, the PSW(Periodic Square Wave) model, provides useful expressions for the upper/lower bounds and average level of the storage inventory. The expressions for the Kuhn-Tucker conditions of the optimization problem can be reduced to two sub-problems. The first yields analytical solutions for determining lot sizes while the second is a separable concave minimization network flow subproblem whose solution yields the average material flow rates through the networks for the given demand forecast scenario. The result of this study will contribute to the optimal design and operation of large-scale supply chain system.

  • The excessive concentration of phosphorus in the river and reservoir is a deteriorating factor for the eutrophication. The converter slag was used to remove the phosphate from the synthetic wastewater. Influencing factors were studied to remove soluble orthophosphate with the different particle sizes through the batch and the column experiments by continuous flow. Freundlich and Langmuir adsorption isotherm constants were obtained from batch experiments with $PS_A$ and $PS_B$. Freundlich isotherm was fitted better than Langmuir isotherm. Regression coefficient of Freundlich isotherm was 0.95 for $PS_A$ and 0.92 for $PS_B$, respectively. The adsorption kinetics from the batch experiment were revealed that bigger size of convert slag, $PS_A$ can be applied for the higher than 3.5 mg/L of phosphate concentration. The pilot plant of continuous flow was applied in order to evaluate the pH variation, breakthrough points and breakthrough adsorption capacity of phosphate. The variation of pH was decreased through the experimental hours. The breakthrough time was 1,432 and 312 hours to 10 mg/L and 50 mg/L for the influent concentration, respectively. The breakthrough adsorption capacity was 3.54 g/kg for 10 mg/L, and 1.72 g/kg for 50 mg/L as influent phosphate concentration.

  • Batch growth of plant cell suspension cultures of Thalictrum rugosum was studied to clarify the kinetic behaviors. It was found that the product formation was growth associated. The specific growth rate was $0.20-0.25\;day\;^{-1}$/TEX> at the growth phase and the FW/DCW ratio was an interesting parameter which represented the status of the cells or the status of sugar concentration. The cell yield was 0.36 g cells/g sugar. The maximum berberine level was 139 mg/L of which 120 mg/L was intracellular. In terms of the specific content of berberine, the product was 1.10% of dry cell weight. At the growth phase, the relationship between the specific growth rate and sugar concentration was described well by Monod kinetics.

  • In recent years, the large-scale shaft have been appling in domestic mine for mass production using a large machine, the safety of mine also have been increasing. And the new trial that shotcrete of tunnel field was apply to mine support was progressed. But, the conditions of domestic mine was different from that of tunnel, so, the batch plant of tunnel could not be installed in mine field because of low economical efficiency and difficulty for selection of site. Ready-mixed Shotcrete that mixed with high quality materials and could be controled shotcrete quality is producted in plants and transported to field, so do not need to batch plant. In this study, The Field test of the Ready-mixed Shotcrete was performed in the large-scale mine and was compared with the quality of Field mix shotcrete. As the result of the Field test, compressive strength and rebound of Ready-mixed Shotcrete were superior to these of Field mix shotcrete.

  • Recently, a greater interest has been placed on the methods of acration control for management of maloders during composting. This study was performed to evaluate the influence of the intermittent aeration method on the composting temperature and chemical components. Combinatoins of cattle manure and rice hulls were placed on a batch composter(3,150-L size) practically designed. The chemical properties of the produced compost were suitable for plant growth, when composting temperature was maintained in the range from 45 to $66^{\circ}C$ for 42 days. It should be noted that cooling effect of intake air was not significant because air temperature was as high as $30^{\circ}C$. Heat and aeration loss from the composter did not affect biomass decomposition by microbes during composting. Mixtures of materials with C/N ratios higher than 30 required longer composting period.
