There is a large variety of methods in literature for process design and control, which can be
classified into two main categories. The methods in the first category have a sequential …

The purpose of this paper is to stress the importance of selecting the right plantwide control
structure and the need for a formalized approach that can encompass the many issues that …

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

This study focuses on the development and performance of four plant-wide control structures
for the Tennessee Eastman challenge problem. The control structures are developed in a …

This paper presents a mechanistic dynamic model of a post-combustion CO 2 capture plant
using the MEA absorption process. Insight regarding the process dynamics due to various …

Plantwide control involves the systems and strategies required to control an entire chemical
plant consisting of many interconnected unit operations. A general heuristic design …

This paper develops a quasi-decentralized control framework for plants with distributed,
interconnected units that exchange information over a shared communication network. In …

Process systems with material and energy recycle are well-known to exhibit complex
dynamics and to present significant control challenges, due to the feedback interactions …

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 synthesis of plant-wide control structures has resurfaced as the most important design
problem in process control. In this paper we provide a comparative analysis of various …
