Because of the structural change in industry from mass production to the production of small
amount of various products with high added value, batch processing has come to the fore in …

In this paper, a new strategy for temperature control of multipurpose batch reactors using a
cascaded model based control is presented. This strategy is based on the use of the thermal …

Batch and semibatch reactors are the main device of batch processes which are still widely
used to produce pharmaceuticals, polymers, biotechnologicals etc. Fine chemical …

This paper gives an overview of our studies on adaptive control performed in our laboratory
for more than ten years enlightened by results of practical applications on different pilot …

Featured Application Industrial application of temperature control in coal-based exothermic
reactions. Abstract The control of steam drums, used to remove heat from Fischer–Tropsch …

This paper presents an original approach which makes use of a realistic thermal model for
adaptive predictive control and supervision of a semibatch jacketed reactor. The first part is …

Optimal operation of batch processes usually involves closely following a pre-optimized
batch trajectory, eg, the temperature trajectory in an exothermic batch reactor. Controllers for …

This study is essentially aimed at improving adaptive model predictive control of batch and
semi-batch chemical reactor temperature. To this end, it involves a 'software sensor', able to …

A neural controller is developed and used to regulate the temperature in a semi-batch pilot-
plant reactor. The experimental unit employs a monofluid heating-cooling system to raise the …

Based on two reactions with different behaviour, a comparative study between batch and
semibatch reactors performance has been carried out in a glass-jacketed reactor of 5l …
