Evolutionary algorithm-based model predictive control for a reactive distillation column in biodiesel production

Model Predictive Inferential Control of a Distillation Column

Typical production objectives in distillation process require the delivery of products whose compositions meet certain specifications. The distillation control system, therefore, must hold product compositions as near the set points as possible in faces of upset. In this project, inferential model predictive control, that utilizes an artificial neural network estimator and model predictive cont...

Multistep model predictive control of ethyl acetate reactive distillation column

An unconstrained model predictive control (MPC) strategy is presented for single input-single output (SISO) control of a reactive distillation column. The predictive model of the MPC is based on the autoregressive moving average (ARX) model structure, whose parameters are updated on-line using the process measurement information. The design and performance of the control strategy is evaluated b...

Advanced Control of a Reactive Distillation Column

The paper presents a detailed analysis of the dynamic behavior of a reactive distillation column. A control relevant dynamic model is derived using firstprinciples modeling and it is used to study the dynamic behavior of the process at high and low purity operating regimes. The results are used to analyze the performance of linear and nonlinear model predictive control in comparison to coupled ...
