Abstract
A simulation study has been conducted to assess the performance of DMC (Dynamic Matrix Control) applied to an industrial steam gas reformer, coupled with a steam boiler unit, and used for hydrogen production. T he objective has been to improve the control of the reformer product t emperature, quality and water level in the steam boiler. The simulatio n results show an excellent servo and regulatory performance of DMC in contrast to the multiloop PID-type controllers. DMC appears to hold a considerable promise this the process unit.
