Estimation of Distillation Compositions from Multiple Temperature Measurements Using Partial-Least-Squares Regression
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper addresses the use of temperature measurements to estimate product compositions in distillation columns. A simple linear multivariate calibration procedure based on steady-state data is used, which requires minimal modeling effort. It is found that these principal-component-regression (PCR) and partial-least-squares (PLS) estimators perform well, even for multicomponent mixtures, pressure variations, and nonlinearity caused by changes in operating conditions. The use of weighting functions, additional factors, and logarithmic transformations improve the estimates and counteract nonlinearities, provided there is not too much noise on the temperatures. In the paper we also compare more generally regression methods based on singular-value decomposition (SVD; generalized least squares), PCR, and PLS.

Inferential control system of distillation compositions using dynamic partial least squares regression
In order to control product compositions in a multicomponent distillation column, the distillate and bottom compositions are estimated from on-line measured process variables. In this paper, inferential models for estimating product compositions are constructed using dynamic Partial Least Squares (PLS) regression, on the basis of simulated time series data. It is found that the use of past meas...

Multivariable inferential feedback control of distillation compositions using principal component regression (PCR) models is presented in this paper. Both static and dynamic models are studied. PCR model based software sensors are developed from process operational data, so that the top and bottom product compositions can be estimated from multitray temperature measurements. The problems of col...
متن کاملEstimation of Leaf Area Index and Chlorophyll for a Mediterranean Grassland Using Hyperspectral Data
The study shows that leaf area index (LAI) and canopy chlorophyll content can be mapped in a heterogeneous Mediterranean grassland from canopy spectral reflectance measurements. Canopy spectral measurements were made in the field using a GER 3700 spectroradiometer, along with concomitant in situ measurements of LAI and chlorophyll content. We tested the utility of univariate techniques, involvi...
متن کاملA comparison of the performance of profile position and composition estimators for quality control in binary distillation
In this study a number of control strategies have been developed for control of the overhead composition of a binary distillation column. The nonlinear wave model as presented in the literature, has been substantially modified in order to express it in variables that can easily be measured and make it more robust to feed flow and feed composition changes. The new model consists essentially of t...
متن کاملRobust Nonlinear PLS Based on Neural Networks and Application to Composition Estimator for High-Purity Distillation Columns
−The accurate and reliable on-line estimation of product quality is an essential task for successful process operation and control. This paper proposes a new estimation method that extends the conventional linear PLS (Partial Least Squares) regression method to a nonlinear framework in a more robust manner. To handle the nonlinearities, nonlinear PLS based on linear PLS and neural network has b...
