An Strategy to Regulate Temperature in fcc Units with Poor Knowledge of Chemical-Kinetics
In this work we study the temperature control in FCC units. Because FCC processes involve complex interactive dynamics which are difficult to operate and control as well as poorly known reaction kinetics, a model-based control controller which yields robust stabilization against chemical reactions uncertainties is provided. The control strategy makes use of estimates of uncertainties derived from calorimetric balances to give an input-output linearizing-like feedback.
