The simulated moving bed (SMB) is a type of continuous chromatographic separation, formed by a train of chromatographic columns. Operating a SMB unit is a complex task due to its low operating range and its sensitivity to any change. In order to control the system in an efficient way, a rigorous model with a suitable computational strategy was employed in this work. The polynomial approximation method in finite element was used to discretize the spatial variable of the internal model of a NMPC controller. The satisfactory performance of the controller, when applied to separate the enantiomers of praziquantel subject to equipment failures, was achieved within an acceptable computational effort for real-time application.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
