A stable control structure for binary distillation columns

From MaRDI portal





Consider the classical `constant molar overflow' model for binary distillation columns under the Lewis hypotheses such that the corresponding model of ordinary differential equations is based only upon material balances. The authors design a Lyapunov-based nonlinear controller for the composition control of the distillation column. Since the controller requires the knowledge of the internal variables, an exponentially converging high-gain observer is developed. It is proven that the controller-observer structure is globally asymptotically stable. By simulation it is shown that this structure can be used for asymptotic disturbance rejection and set-point tracking.
