A TITO Control Strategy to Increase Productivity in Uncertain Exothermic Continuous Chemical Reactors

Membrane reactors: A way to increase efficiency

Global stabilization of exothermic chemical reactors under input constraints

Ah&act-This paper is devoted to the temperature control and the stabilization under input constraints of exothermic chemical reactors. We first consider a reactor in which a single and exothermic reaction takes place and design state feedback controllers to achieve the global and robust stabilization under input constraints of the reactor. Then, we extend these results to a general class of exo...

Different Approaches to Chemical Exothermic Batch Reactor Control

The paper presents some different methods for a chemical exothermic batch reactor control. A mathematical model including reaction kinetics was used to simulate a real process. The process chemical reaction is strongly exothermic so the in-reactor temperature is rising very fast due to reaction component dosing. Thus, the temperature control is necessary. The system is nonlinear because of chem...

Towards Integrated Continuous-Flow Chemical Reactors

A device for rapid mixing of two solutions is presented. As the main mechanism for mixing is diffusional mass transport, the ̄ow has to be split into several laminae which are narrower than the capillary width. Complete mixing is achieved within a few seconds in a ̄ow-through device with a channel system that is 600mm wide at its narrowest spot.

A reactive optimization strategy for the simultaneous planning, scheduling and control of short-period continuous reactors

The efficient and economic operation of processing systems is normally addressed within a planning, scheduling and control framework. Due to its complexity, these activities are commonly approached in a decoupled rather than in a simultaneous manner. Although the decoupled approach leads to a computationally tractable problem, the solution of such a problem can result in a suboptimal solution b...
