Practical development of a nonlinear controller for an industrial-scale batch polymerization reactor Conference Paper

abstract

• A batch polymerization process is described along with some examples of linear control of the process for two different batch lengths. A means of estimating on-line the heat release profile of the reactor contents, and the overall heat transfer coefficient of the reactor, is developed. A gray-box model of the polymerization proces is presented and the fit of this model to the estimated heat release and heat transfer coefficient profiles is shown. A nonlinear controller is developed based on the gray-box model and the result of using the nonlinear controller is presented.
