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 …

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 …

This paper is concerned with the control of important polymerization properties in a batch
solution polymerization reactor of methylmethacrylate. Properties such as weight avarage …

In this study, an adaptive control strategy is applied to a digital simulation describing the
continuous polymerization of MMA. The reactor model illustrates unusual process dynamics …

In the paper the control of the product quality in polymerization reactors is analysed in the
presence of persistent perturbations (unmodeled disturbances, modeling errors), as met in …

A strategy is proposed for estimating and controlling properties of a styrene/butadiene
rubber (SBR) latex produced in a semi-batch reactor operation. The suboptimal nonlinear …

A monomer-terminated addition polymerization with a first-order initiation step carried out in
a continuous stirred tank reactor is considered. Propagation and termination steps are …

Integrated multivariable process control can have a significant strategic impact on polymer
plant operability and economics. Polymer manufacturers face increasing pressures for …

In this paper, the Adaptive/Inferential Control System (AI-CS) is proposed. It can be used
successfully for a system having deterministic disturbances and is valid for a non-minimum …

In order to implement nonlinear control, nonlinear system identification must be performed,
however, there are open questions concerning this field of process control, for example …
