A nonlinear model predictive control scheme based on the second-order Volterra model is
presented. Formulations using successive substitution and direct solution of a nonlinear …

Moving horizon estimation (MHE) has been applied to an industrial gas phase
polymerization reactor to improve estimates of current states and parameters. MHE is …

The effects of operating conditions such as initiator and monomer concentration as well as
reactor temperature of polymerization reactors are studied in this work. A recently developed …

The performance analysis of three advanced non linear controllers is the main focus of this
paper. All three controllers are applied for the control of a batch polymerisation reactor which …

A modified two-phase model for gas phase ethylene and propylene copolymerization was
used to describe the process in a fluidized bed reactor. The process model considered solid …

A two-phase dynamic model, describing gas phase propylene polymerization in a fluidized
bed reactor, was used to explore the dynamic behavior and process control of the …

In this paper a new approximation method for the synthesis of open-loop control systems in
batch and semibatch free radical copolymerization processes is presented. Being …

The model-on-demand (MoD) framework was extended to the model predictive control
(MPC) to design a multiple variable model-on-demand predictive controller (MoD-PC). This …

Continuous solution copolymerization is an important industrial process in the manufacture
of commodity and engineering plastics. The addition of comonomers and solvent, and the …

In an industrial gas-phase polyethylene reactor, the safe operating range of temperature is
rather narrow. Even within this temperature range, temperature excursions must be avoided …
