Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for controlling a Materials Recovery Facility. An input stream of recycled materials is provided, wherein the composition of the input stream is subject to variation during a time interval. The input stream goes to a separator that separates it into first and second output streams containing predominantly first and second materials, respectively. An automatic control system is provided with data representative of a feedrate versus separating efficiency relationship for the separator. The control system is also provided with data representative of an economic value of at least one of the materials. The control system calculates optimum processing rates to maximize profitability, and automatically adjusts a feedrate of the input material stream to the separator.
