Two different approaches to robust adaptive control are applied to the control of monomer
conversion (ie productivity) of a simulated continuous solution polymerization reactor in the …

This work studies the experimental application of the globally linearizing control (GLC)
methodology to a batch polymerization reactor. The GLC methodology is used to start-up the …

A differential geometric methodology is used to establish, at the structural level (regardless
of specific controllers), the existence of a global solution of the nonlinear control problem …

This study describes the development of a rule-based fuzzy controller for regulating the
copolymer composition (F 1) in a semi-batch solution copolymerization s. The membership …

The aim of this paper is to report the design and use of a controller for the world's largest
polypropylene reactor. This is the first industrial process-controller to use the so-called …

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 …

Closed-loop experimental results for conversion control in the presence of reactive
impurities in continuous solution methyl methacrylate polymerization reactors are presented …

A model reference control strategy is discussed for the production of monodisperse
polymers and polymers of any pre-defined molecular weight distribution fran 'living'anionic …

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 …

During start-up or grade-change operation of a continuous polymerization reactor, the
transition time, required to reach the desired steady state from the initial state, decides the …
