This paper presents a thorough review of control technologies that have been applied to
wastewater treatment processes in the environmental engineering regime in the past four …

The measurement and control of polymerization reactors is very challenging due to the
complexity of the physical mechanisms and polymerization kinetics. In these reactors many …

At publication, The Control Handbook immediately became the definitive resource that
engineers working with modern control systems required. Among its many accolades, that …

Emulsion polymers are “products by process” whose main properties are determined during
polymerization. In this scenario of margins reduction, increasing competition, and public …

In this work, we focus on the development and application of predictive-based strategies for
control of particle size distribution (PSD) in continuous and batch particulate processes …

The increasingly more aggressive global competition for the production of higher-quality
products at lower costs, along with a general trend away from new capital investments in the …

In the present article, recent developments on modeling and optimization of particulate
polymerization processes are reviewed. A unified population balance approach is described …

A general methodology is proposed for the synthesis of practically‐implementable nonlinear
output feedback controllers for spatially‐homogeneous particulate processes modeled by …

Control technology permeates every aspect of our lives. We rely on them to perform a wide
variety of tasks without giving much thought to the origins of the technology or how it became …

The development and use of microprocessor-based devices improved the speed and
reliability of transmission and manipulation of data. More recently, some monitoring …
