Modeling of Dust Content Control System for Industrial Enterprises in the Mineral Resource Sector

The article investigates the problem of creating an effective dust suppression system. The authors, employing methods of systems analysis, mathematical modeling, decision theory, mine time-based measurements of dust concentration changes during ventilation, and numerical modeling of dust concentration changes, developed an automated dust suppression system for an apatite-nepheline deposit. The system architecture was designed, encompassing stages from receiving and processing dust concentration data to generating a response through activating suppression with intensity regulation depending on conditions. A prototype system was created and tested. The core of the system is custom-developed code that automatically regulates dust concentration in the mine using a PID controller and transmits data to a server, enabling real-time system monitoring and control. The annual economic benefit from implementing the system at the study site amounted to 2,170,701 rubles. Beyond the achieved economic benefit, the system will improve working conditions, enhance safety, and reduce harmful environmental impact.
