Kw. Yin et Oa. Asbjornsen, APPLICATION OF MIMO ADAPTIVE-CONTROL TO A BINARY DISTILLATION PROCESS, Chemical engineering communications, 124, 1993, pp. 115-130
An adaptive controller developed from a generalized cost function is s
tudied in this work. Theoretical derivation is considered first. Appli
cation of such controller to a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) s
ystem-a binary distillation column is examined. Practical issues in th
e implementation of adaptive regulators to control chemical engineerin
g processes are discussed in detail.
