Abstract
A control system for a fiber washing system of a wet milling system and related methods are disclosed, the control system comprising a controller comprising one or more processors and an interface, wherein the one or more processors are configured to: obtain fiber data comprising an input fiber parameter indicative of a fiber input to an incubation tank of the fiber washing system; obtain a time parameter indicative of an incubation time for slurry in the incubation tank; determine an input scheme based on the fiber data and the time parameter; and control one or more input devices of the wet milling system according to the input scheme.
Claims20
A control system for a fiber washing system of a wet milling system, the control system comprising a controller comprising one or more processors and an interface, wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
- obtain fiber data comprising an input fiber parameter indicative of a fiber input to an incubation tank of the fiber washing system;
- obtain a time parameter indicative of an incubation time for slurry in the incubation tank;
- determine an input scheme based on the fiber data and the time parameter;
- and
- control one or more input devices of the wet milling system according to the input scheme;
- and
- wherein the input fiber parameter is indicative of a fiber content in a slurry input to the incubation tank.
(canceled)
A computer-implemented method of producing a fiber output from a fiber washing system of a wet milling system, the method comprising:
- obtaining fiber data comprising an input fiber parameter indicative of a fiber input to an incubation tank of the fiber washing system;
- obtaining a time parameter indicative of an incubation time for slurry in the incubation tank;
- determining an input scheme based on the fiber data and the time parameter;
- and
- controlling one or more input devices of the wet milling system according to the input scheme.
