We present an easily implementable control strategy using fuzzy algorithm for refinery feed-heater temperature control. Feed-heater exhibits large amounts of transportation lag making all conventional control methods inadequate. The fuzzy algorithm for real time implementation has been successfully developed and tested using a process model on an IBM PC.Simulation results indicate that the controller can be applied to dead time and nonlinear processes.
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.
