Application of the IFSH Methodology for Plantwide Control for an Evaporator Benchmark Process

Plantwide control (PWC) is an inherently complex task, which why systematic guidelines and step-wise procedures are necessary to identify proper pairings. Several different methodologies for the development of PWC structures have been proposed over years, trying balance field between formal methods, practicality, heuristics. The Integrated Framework Simulation Heuristics (IFSH) by Konda et al. (2005) utilizes simulators support heuristic decisions, thereby reducing dependence experience prior understanding process behavior. In this article, framework successfully applied Forced Circulation Evaporator Newell Lee (1989). A application methodology provides basis a discussion how benefits from utilization simulations it differs previously developed evaporator process.
