Abstract

Batch and semi-batch polymerization reactors with specified trajectories for certain process variables present challenging control problems. This work reports, results and procedures related to the application of PI (proportional and integral) fuzzy control in a semi-batch reactor for the production of nylon 6. Closed loop simulation results were based on a phenomenological model adjusted for a commercial reactor and they attest to the potential benefits and versatility of the use of PI fuzzy control in polymerization systems.

An experimental and theoretical approach on real-time control and monitoring of the apparent viscosity by fuzzy-based control
2022, Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering
This paper aimed to develop a real-time monitoring and Fuzzy-based control system for non-Newtonian fluids properties as apparent viscosity. Fuzzy logic was chosen as the control paradigm due to its low implementation complexity compared to other advanced control techniques and its outstanding feature of simplifying the transfer of knowledge from the operator/expert to the control system. To validate the proposed fuzzy control strategy, the authors developed a flow loop system for real-time monitoring and controlling the viscosity of carboxymethylcellulose's aqueous solutions. For apparent viscosity monitoring, a tubular viscometer was developed based on volumetric fluid flow and pressure drop in a defined tube length. The control strategy used in this work was based on Fuzzy Logic, with the Mamdani inference method, which was based on the possibility of transferring the linguistic information from the expert process operator's knowledge to the machine domain language, thus establishing the knowledge basis of the fuzzy controller. The proposed control strategy was validated by experimental tests in a flow loop system, regulator, and servo problems for apparent viscosity. Results showed the Fuzzy controller's satisfactory performance, which proved to be a great potential tool for online monitoring, preparation, and control of the apparent viscosity of drilling fluids.
A model-based approach to quality monitoring of a polymerization process without online measurement of product specifications
2017, Computers and Industrial Engineering

The quality planning of any product is effective if the variables or parameters directly related to their end-use properties (quality variables) can be measured or estimated (Alzghoul & Lofstrand, 2011; Freidina, Botvinnik, & Dvornikova, 2014). On-line monitoring, analysis and control are capable of improving product quality in both manufacturing (Singh, Gernaey, & Gani, 2009) and continuous (Lima, Maciel Filho, Embiruçu, & Maciel, 2007; Lima, Manenti, Maciel Filho, Embiruçu, & Wolf Maciel, 2009; Lima et al., 2010; Wakabayashi, Embiruçu, Fontes, & Kalid, 2009) processes through timely measurement. Delayed measurements, low sampling rates and missing data problems also affect other process analysis technologies not only associated with the product quality control itself (Aghabozorgi, Shirkhorshid, & Wah, 2015; Ali & Pievatolo, 2016; Baraldi, Maio, Rigamonti, Zio, & Seraoui, 2015; Ben-Arieh & Gullipalli, 2012; Cook, Harrison, Rouse, & Zhu, 2012; Haomin et al., 2014; Lee & Park, 2006).
This paper presents a model-based approach for on-line monitoring of difficult-to-measure quality variables with the description of their dynamic behavior. The strategy comprises the use of a Virtual On-line Analyzer (VOA), based on an empirical model, whose development is supported on the one hand by experimental data, and on the other hand by a complex phenomenological model. A systematic approach to the selection and estimation of parameters of the phenomenological model from experimental data is also presented in order to adjust this model to the behavior of the industrial process. Regarding the experimental data, this complete model has additional information (such as the dynamic behavior of the process, embedded in the knowledge used in its formulation) and it is able to provide synthetic data for VOA training which comprises a NARX (Non-linear AutoRegressive with Exogeneous inputs) neural network model. A real case study comprising quality monitoring in a polymerization system is investigated. The available measurements of the main polymer properties are performed at a low frequency and are not able to represent the dynamic behavior and support decision-making at the operational level, especially during online grade transitions (changes in product specifications). The results show the ability of the neural model to predict the quality variables with a high frequency (small sampling period), enabling and supporting decision-making for quality monitoring of the polymer in real time.
Parameterized data-driven fuzzy model based optimal control of a semi-batch reactor
2016, ISA Transactions
Citation Excerpt :
Studies on fuzzy model based control include fuzzy model identification [20] for alternate forms of fuzzy models [21] incorporating handling of uncertainties [22] and adaptation approaches [23]. Application of fuzzy logic control to batch and semi batch chemical and bio-chemical processes has been reported to track the variable set point trajectories based on process or operator knowledge [24–31]. Data-driven fuzzy modeling approaches have been proposed based on clustering approaches [32] where the operating data is analyzed and partitioned into clusters and used in combination with Takagi–Sugeno (TS) fuzzy models, or through online fuzzy rule formulation, simplification, combination and redundancy elimination based on different techniques [33].
A parameterized data-driven fuzzy (PDDF) model structure is proposed for semi-batch processes, and its application for optimal control is illustrated. The orthonormally parameterized input trajectories, initial states and process parameters are the inputs to the model, which predicts the output trajectories in terms of Fourier coefficients. Fuzzy rules are formulated based on the signs of a linear data-driven model, while the defuzzification step incorporates a linear regression model to shift the domain from input to output domain. The fuzzy model is employed to formulate an optimal control problem for single rate as well as multi-rate systems. Simulation study on a multivariable semi-batch reactor system reveals that the proposed PDDF modeling approach is capable of capturing the nonlinear and time-varying behavior inherent in the semi-batch system fairly accurately, and the results of operating trajectory optimization using the proposed model are found to be comparable to the results obtained using the exact first principles model, and are also found to be comparable to or better than parameterized data-driven artificial neural network model based optimization results.
Control of a heat exchanger using neural network predictive controller combined with auxiliary fuzzy controller
2015, Applied Thermal Engineering
The paper presents an advanced control strategy that uses the neural network predictive controller and the fuzzy controller in the complex control structure with an auxiliary manipulated variable. The controlled tubular heat exchanger is used for pre-heating of petroleum by hot water. The heat exchanger is modelled as a nonlinear system with the interval parametric uncertainty. The set point tracking and the disturbance rejection using intelligent control strategies are investigated. The control objective is to keep the outlet temperature of the pre-heated petroleum at a reference value. Simulations of control of the tubular heat exchanger are done in the Matlab/Simulink environment. The complex control structure with two controllers is compared with the conventional PID control, fuzzy control and NNPC. Simulation results confirm the effectiveness and superiority of the complex control structure combining the NNPC with the auxiliary fuzzy controller.
Fuzzy logic control of a reverse flow reactor for catalytic oxidation of ventilation air methane

Citation Excerpt :
Fuzzy logic controllers (FLCs) constructed by type-1 fuzzy sets (T1-FS) provide an effective way to control systems of high nonlinearities (Zadeh, 1965). Since the pioneering work of Mamdani (Mamdani & Assilian, 1975), this kind of controller has been successfully implemented in many areas such as industrial process control (Park & Cho, 2005), robot (Lin & Lewis, 2003; Takeuchi, Nagai, and Enomoto 1988; Thongchai, Suksakulchai, Wilkes, & Sarkar, 2000), traffic signal control (Wei, Zhang, Mbede, Zhang, & Song, 2001), reactor control (Sheikhzadeh, Trifkovic, & Rohani, 2008; Wakabayashi, Embiruçu, Fontes, & Kalid, 2009; Wu & Pai, 2009) and so on. However, the type-1 fuzzy logic systems (T1-FLSs) were limited in handling systems with great uncertainties (Castillo & Melin, 2012).
Fuzzy logic controllers of type-1 and type-2 were implemented to deal with the high nonlinearities and uncertainties in operation of a reverse flow reactor (RFR) for catalytic oxidation of ventilation air methane (VAM). The results indicated that the fuzzy logic controller is distinctly superior to the traditional logic-based controller and works well under the conditions with high nonlinearities and uncertainties. Owing to the robustness of RFR and particular control aim of regulating bed temperature within a relatively broad range, a fuzzy logic controller of type-1 is sufficient to cope with the uncertainty brought by the extensive variation of VAM concentration.
A fuzzy-split range control system applied to a fermentation process

A simpler alternative is the application of fuzzy logic based controllers (FC). The advantages of fuzzy logic based controllers are simplicity, implementation easiness, robustness, and the ability to deal with complex nonlinear relationships using even imprecise, incomplete and noisy data (Wakabayashi et al. 2009; Eker and Torun, 2006; Silva et al., 2012). Sagüés et al. (2007) successfully implemented fuzzy controllers to control a biomass gasification process.
In this study it was proposed the application of a fuzzy-PI controller in tandem with a split range control strategy to regulate the temperature inside a fermentation vat. Simulations were carried out using different configurations of fuzzy controllers and split range combinations for regulatory control. The performance of these control systems were compared using conventional integral of error criteria, the demand of utilities and the control effort. The proposed control system proved able to adequately regulate the temperature in all the tests. Besides, considering a similar ITAE index and using the energetically most efficient split range configuration, fuzzy-PI controller provided a reduction of approximately 84.5% in the control effort and of 6.75% in total demand of utilities by comparison to a conventional PI controller.
