Jfm. Vandijk et al., INTEGRATED PROCESS AND PROCESS-CONTROL DESIGN OF A PP-SPLITTER USING SPEEDUP AND SHELL MULTIVARIABLE OPTIMIZING CONTROL, Computers & chemical engineering, 20(4), 1996, pp. 387-393
This paper describes how an interface between the dynamic simulator Sp
eedUp and the Shell Multivariable Optimising Controller has been devel
oped and applied to the design of a new PP-splitter. This interface is
used for the integration of the process design with the design of the
process control system. It allows for a direct evaluation of disturba
nce behaviour of the controlled process with respect to possible desig
n alternatives. Issues addressed are the choice of the control method,
the location of quality measurement instruments and equipment sizing.
