Application of LQ and IMC controllers to a packed‐bed reactor
Abstract
Abstract A practical application of advanced, model‐based, multivariable control to a pilot plant packed‐bed reactor carrying out highly exothermic butane hydrogenolysis reactions is presented. The system is first stabilized by using butane flow rate to control the reactor hot‐spot temperature. Propane production and butane conversion are then controlled using multivariable controllers that manipulate the hot‐spot temperature set point and …
