Process intensification offers the potential to drastically reduce the energy consumption and
cost of producing chemicals from both bulk and distributed feedstocks. This review article …

The present work is aimed at the design of Levenberg–Marquardt (LM) and adaptive linear
network (ADALINE) based soft sensors and their application in inferential control of a …

Heat integration and dynamic characteristics are critical for the triple-column pressure-swing
distillation (TCPSD) processes that are used to separate ternary or multicomponent systems …

Distillation columns represent the most widely used separation equipment in the
petrochemical industry. It is usually difficult to apply the traditional mechanism modeling …

This work has been carried out to demonstrate the application ofdecouplers in the
temperature control of a reactive packed distillation column using PID controllers and the …

This article aims at synthesizing an estimator based hybrid control scheme that consists of a
high gain nonlinear observer and the extended generic model controller (EGMC) that is …

In this paper, the dynamic behaviors on the basis of simulation for high-purity heat integrated
air separation column (HIASC) are studied. A nonlinear generic model control (GMC) …

This work aims at proposing a neuro estimator (NE)-based inferential extended generic
model controller (IEGMC) for an ethylene glycol reactive distillation (RD) column. This …

This article examined the African Mission in Burundi (AMIB), assessed its success and drew
lessons learned from the experience. The author argued that the mission was successful in …

This pilot-scale heat exchanger demonstration compares two relatively simple nonlinear
model-based control strategies to conventional proportional-integral (PI) control. The two …
