A Novel Approach to the Automation of a Computerized Pollution Control System in Industrial plants

This paper presents an automated system to continuously monitor and control pollution levels of different types of pollutants in industrial plants. Steel producing complexes are considered in this paper to represent an example of industrial plants. The proposed system consists mainly of two major parts; the pollution measuring equipment and the automation system. The measuring devices are sensors, actuators, etc., located at the potential sources of pollutants such as dusts, stacks and chemical processes.
