The use of model based control for polymerization reactors is a very attractive alternative to
the classical master slave control of temperature. However the bottleneck has been always …

This paper describes a virtual online monitoring of the non-measurable conditions inside a
real-life industrial reactor for the production of polyvinyl acetate. These non-measurable …

A systematic procedure for the design and implementation of a multivariable controller for a
commercial scale polymerization reactor is presented. The reactor characteristics are typical …

Increasing worldwide market competitiveness and reduced profit margins are pressing
chemical and process industries to move towards a predictive control approach, based on …

Gain scheduled control techniques are widely used in the chemical and aerospace
industries but suffer from the limitation to slowly changing scheduling variable (ξ). A dynamic …

In this work a control technique for nonlinear systems which deals with process constraints
in a computationally efficient way is proposed. The technique is a fusion of two control …

This paper, presents an implementation of a predictive control algorithm using locally linear
model tree (LOLIMOT) as the system identification algorithm, on an industry case study …

Linear parameter-varying (LPV) models form a powerful model class to analyze and control
a (nonlinear) system of interest. Identifying an LPV model of a nonlinear system can be …

ABSTRACT A Nonlinear Internal Model Control (NIMC) scheme, based on a recursively
updated Radial Basis Function Network (RBFN), is applied to control the nonlinear …
