Feedback control of polymer quality in semi-batch copolymerization reactors

Abstract

An on-line, nonlinear inferential feedback control strategy for semi-batch emulsion copolymerization reactors is proposed. The proposed strategy features a nonlinear estimator to infer copolymer properties from indirect noisy measurements taken from the process during operation, an on-line implementation of optimal open-loop operating policies for the control of copolymer properties and reactor conditions, and a feedback controller to correct …
