AbstractIn order to investigate the feasibility of constrained multivariable control of a heat-integrated cryogenic distillation process, a rigorous first principles dynamic model was developed and tested against a limited number of experiments. It was found that the process variables showed a large amount of interaction, which is responsible for the difficulties with the presently used, PID-based, control scheme, especially in load-following situations, which are common in air separation plants such as for instance integrated coal gasification combined cycle plants. Contrary to what is suggested in the literature, it was found that vapor hold-up in low-temperature, high-pressure columns does not play a significant role in the process dynamics. Despite large throughput changes and non-linear process behavior, multivariable model predictive control using a linearized model for average operating conditions, could work well provided all process flows have sufficient range. Due to the strong interactive nature of the process variables, process changes have to be made slowly, since otherwise manipulated variables easily saturate and process output targets cannot be maintained.

An operating model for dead-end membrane filtration is proposed based on the well-known blocking laws. The resulting model contains three parameters representing, the operating strategy, the fouling mechanism and the fouling potential of the feed. The optimal control strategy is determined by minimizing the energy consumption for a fixed final time and produced volume. It was found that constant power filtration leads to minimal energy consumption. Constant flux and constant pressure filtration have equal energy costs. However, compared to strategies with a non-decreasing pressure and non-increasing flux, the relative savings are small. Only if the fouling mechanism resembles standard blocking and the fouling resistance is large compared to the membrane resistance, it may be attractive to implement the optimal trajectory.
