Abstract

Utilization of a self-tuning regulator (STR) for control of top product composition of a binary distillation column has been investigated. Results from simulation studies and experimental evaluation of the STR on a pilot scale column are compared with the performance achieved using conventional proportional plus integral control. The STR resulted in significantly improved control for both servo and regulatory control.
