Implementation of internal model control for flow control application

Control Strategies for Thermal Processes in Chemical Industry

“…The practical control diagram (Figure 2) involves the measurement and transmission of the product's output temperature (TT-temperature transmitter), processing this information according to the control law (TIC-temperature controller) and generating the command signal to the actuator (TV-temperature valve). In addition, the installation is provided with temperature, pressure and level indicators (TI, PI, LI) and with a level control loop (LT, LIC, LV) [1,2,[4][5][6][7][8][9][10]14]. (Figure 4).…”

“…In [5], the implementation results of an internal model control (IMC), with set-point tracking, for flow control applications are presented. An internal model control for unstable processes, based on a standard IMC, is proposed in [6], while [7] presents an IMC system for level control applications implemented for two interconnected tanks.…”
