The contribution of this article is a step-wise procedure to fit a non-linear model of a grinding mill circuit to steady-state process data. By way of example, the non-linear model is fitted to process data from an industrial primary milling circuit and is validated against step-test data from the plant.
Open Circuit Primary Ball Mill + Closed Circuit Secondary Ball Mill with Cyclone. These circuits have been getting more and more complex. This is because the ore and the required grind has been getting more and more complicated. The ore in the first one was the softest and the grinding wasn't critical.
Compare open circuit grinding and closed circuit grinding. Open Circuit Grinding. Open circuit grinding consists of one or more grinding mills, either parallel or in series, that discharges a final ground product without classification equipment and no return of coarse discharge back to the mill.

Control of grinding mill circuits Whether to achieve a consistent product quality or throughput, a ROM ore milling circuit is a difficult process to control because of non-linearities, large time delays, unmeasured disturbances, process variables that are difficult to measure, and modelling uncertainties (Coetzee et al., 2010; Hodouin, 2011).
The current world consumption of cement is about 1.5 billion tonnes per annum and it is increasing at about 1% per annum. The electrical energy consumed in cement production is approximately 110 kWh/tonne, and around 40% of this energy is consumed for clinker grinding.There is potential to optimise conventional cement …
To be sure we understand each other, let's begin with the equipment. In a simple grinding circuit there will be a ball mill and a classifier.
