Abstract

The idea of emission control is not new. Different industries have been putting in a lot of effort to limit the harmful emissions and support the environment. Keeping our earth green and safe for upcoming generations is our responsibility. Many cement plants have been shut down in recent years on account of high emissions. Controlling SO2, NOx and CO emissions using the Petri net models is an effort towards the clean production of cement. Petri nets do not just give a pictorial representation of emission control, but also help in designing a controller. A controlled Petri net can be potentially implemented to control the process parameters. In Chapter 2, we discuss the Petri nets in detail. In Chapter 3, we explain the modeling of emissions using the Petri nets. A controlled emission model is given in Chapter 4. A general Petri net model is considered to design the controller, which can be easily modified depending on the specific requirements and type of kiln in consideration. The future work given at the end is the work in progress and a neural network model will likely be integrated with the Petri net model.
