Patent ID: 7678210

Claim:
A process for mitigating shear induced particle migration of explosive suspensions during injection loading of the explosive suspension into a container, comprising: monitoring said process for initiating performance of a corrective process control for minimizing particle migration within the explosive suspension; and, correcting flow parameters effective for reducing the particle migration, wherein said monitoring comprises using a neural network framework, which includes a plurality of input nodes and a plurality of hidden nodes, for real-time monitoring of process parameters to initiate said corrective process control, wherein said corrective process control comprises process diagnostics and process control requirements are accommodated to fill different munitions with said explosive suspension through use of a densitometer, wherein said correcting flow parameters is a corrective action for a non-steady state process invoked within one time step to resolve an influence of a disturbance before an injection loading cycle is complete, and wherein said correcting flow comprises shear is re-distributed in said explosive suspension, and density and concentration gradients are prevented in said different munitions when filled through use of in-line static mixers.
