State estimation for semi-batch polymerization reactors
Abstract
Three approaches to nonlinear state estimation are evaluated for application to semi-batch polymerization problems. The semi-batch emulsion copolymerization of styrene/butadiene rubber (SBR) is used as a case study. The first approach considered for nonlinear state estimation is the extended Kalman filter. This approach is demonstrated to be useful and simple to apply, but can be slow to converge from state initialization errors due to the …
