Inferential model-based control of multicomponent batch distillation

State estimation and inferential control for a reactive batch distillation column

“…Unfortunately, on-line measurement of compositions is a typical problem in industry as stated by many investigators (Mejdell and Skogestad, 1991;Quintero-Marmol and Luyben, 1992;Baratti et al, 1995;Kano et al, 2000;Bahar et al, 2004). On-line measurements of the product compositions are possible with direct composition analyzers which are usually expensive, difficult to maintain, necessitating frequent calibrations and which introduce undesirable time delays in the feedback control loop.…”

Synthesis of nonlinear adaptive controller for a batch distillation

“…So far, many observation schemes have been designed and applied with good results on the batch distillation processes [1,[16][17][18][19][20].…”

Nonlinear adaptive control algorithm for a multicomponent batch distillation column

“…Many observation approaches have been developed so far and few of them are applied with good results on the batch distillation processes (Quintero-Marmol et al, 1991;Quintero-Marmol and Luyben, 1992;Barolo et al, 2000;Oisiovici and Cruz, 2000;Venkateswarlu and Avantika, 2001;Zamprogna et al, 2004).…”
