Study And simulation of predictive control applied to binary distillation column

Abstract

Despite the advanced reach of multivariable control theory, multiloop control remains the most widely used control technique in the chemical process industry. This project aims to apply a multivariable control technique on the field, most precisely on the distillation column, this was done by proposing a new Technique Model Predictive Control (MPC), and comparing its results with the ones obtained from the conventional controller, furthermore, because it is a new technique, although many companies deal with it, it remains a new technique for the engineers, we proposed several procedures to tune the Model Predictive Control (MPC) controller.
