The regulation of nonlinear dynamical systems with both continuous and discrete
measurements is addressed by a robust control structure that considers the compromise …

The problem of designing a saturated Output-Feedback (OF) controller for a continuous
bioreactor with Haldane kinetics is addressed. The reactor must be operated at maximum …

An estimation approach to jointly design the estimation model, data assimilation structure,
and algorithm in the light of particular estimation objectives is developed within a …

In this work, a systematic approach to plant-wide control design is proposed. The method
combines ingredients from process networks, thermodynamics and systems theory to derive …

The problem of robustly controlling a highly exothermic gas-phase packed-bed tubular
reactor on the basis of feed and reactor temperature measurements is addressed. First …

The saturated OF control problem for a class of four-state anaerobic digesters with volatile
fatty acids (VFAs) measurement is addressed. The reactor must operate about an optimal …

In this work, an experimental implementation of a model based output feedback (OF)
scheme applied to regulate the volatile fatty acids concentration of an anaerobic digestion …

The problem of assessing the short and long time effects of stochastic fluctuations on the
global-nonlinear dynamics of a class of closed-loop continuous exothermic reactors with …

The problem of controlling a (possibly open-loop unstable) continuous exothermic reactor
with non-monotonic kinetics, temperature measurements, reactant and heat exchange rates …

The problem of reducing the energy consumption in an industrial multicomponent distillation
column is addressed. The column is subjected to step feed and distillate flow rates, the …
