This paper presents a method for model reference control of a cement-milling circuit that has been studied previously. The approach presented is based on the experimentally justified model developed by Breugesen (1996), and derives the form of control vector with the goal of driving the behavior of the system to that of a desired model. The derivation is based on the Lyapunov theory, and the results observed confirm the tracking claims of the paper.
