SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OPTIMUM OPERATION OF A SUGARCANE MILLING UNIT

摘要

Described herein is a method for operating a sugarcane milling unit. The method includes providing a working range for at least one operating variable for a plurality of mills of the sugarcane milling unit, estimating bagasse pol produced and amount of imbibition water consumed corresponding to a first plurality of set points for the at least one operating variable followed by selecting one or more first set points corresponding to minimum estimated bagasse pol produced and amount of imbibition water consumed for the at least one operating variable as use set points, and operating the sugarcane milling unit at the use set points. In another aspect the invention provides a sugarcane milling unit that includes an optimizing unit to implement the method described herein.
