Restocrete Inc. for Millar Western Pulp - dynamic modelling of slab presses and flash drying fans for foundation restoration planning

The pulp processing plant is being upgraded for a new, higher speed production regime. This elevates the requirements for vibration amplitude limitation for key equipment - slab presses and flash drying fans.

In the proposals for this work, we investigated the nature of disbalance and cracking in their pedestals, constructed symbolic dynamic models and proposed methods for crack remediation.
