Análise do processo de moagem em moinho vertical para previsão da finura do cimento Portland

Abstract

The study analyzes the production process of a vertical mill in a cement production plant, focusing on the fineness of Portland cement. It aims to understand the operational variables that influence the material’s fineness using statistical modeling techniques to predict it. Over a period of 61 days, time series data of the target and predictor variables were collected, with filters applied to remove noise. The study seeks to optimize the production process control, ensuring that the cement meets technical standards, such as NBR 16697. Additionally, it identifies opportunities for efficient practices, contributing to reduced energy costs and machinery wear. The research highlights the importance of predicting cement fineness to aid in quality control.
