Significant progress in the area of simultaneous design and control for chemical processes
has been achieved and various methodologies have been put forward to address this issue …

Controllability is one of the most important aspects of chemical process operability, because
it can be used to assess the attainable operation of a given process and improve its dynamic …

During the whole of history, distillation has been the most extensive separation method.
Regardless of its flexibility and simplicity, distillation technology is highly energy consuming …

The object of this paper is the application of a type-2 fuzzy logic controller to a nonlinear
system that presents bifurcations. A bifurcation can cause instability in the system or can …

Information on steady-state bifurcations, most notably stability boundaries, is frequently used
for the analysis and design of nonlinear systems. The bifurcation points separate regions …

Type-2 fuzzy logic control is proposed for nonlinear processes characterized by bifurcations.
A control simulation study was conducted for a bioreactor with cell recycle containing phenol …

Oscillatory behavior was observed in both experiments and mathematical simulation during
continuous fermentation of Klebsiella pneumoniae, in which biomass, product and substrate …

To date, sensitivity, bifurcation and singularity analysis have been employed to identify and
characterize the qualitative nonlinear behaviour of chemical process systems. The …

In an industrial fluidized-bed polymerization reactor, tight temperature control is of utmost
importance to ensure that the temperature in the reaction zone is kept above the dew point …

Profitability, controllability, and flexibility are important objectives in the design of chemical
processes. 1, 2 Trade-offs between these objectives have been the focus of designs that …
