Performance optimisation

The range of speciality rubber plasticisers on the market includes proprietary products whose compositions are not fully disclosed. In practice, there is considerable overlap in performance between different plasticisers, and for many compounders the use of a particular plasticiser may be related more to continuity of historically proven formulations than to current cost/performance optimisation.

Although some of those problems may be tackled through an hardware approach (improvement of sensor performances, optimisation of sensor chamber, control of gas line, etc.), most of them must be solved by a suitable on-line signal processing directly embedded in the field instrument.

The level difference between centrate and cake discharges can be quite critical when optimising process performance. When the level difference is small, the degree and consistency of the centrate cresting can play an important part in the process performance optimising.

This research was motivated by two research gaps. Firstly, the literature showed that most of the Chinese manufacturing enterprises became aware of the importance of SCMs, but compared to Western firms, the SCM level of Chinese firms was lagging behind. The SMEs were a very important industrial sector in China, but the research on SCM and performance optimisation in Chinese SME manufacturers was very rare.
