This work deals with a physical one- and two-dimensional (1D and 2D) parameters estimation of a filtration process of slurry, the second stage of phosphoric acid manufacture. This study focuses on recursive least square and instrumental variable techniques applied to the (1D) and (2D) models. The model of the rotary drum filter is based on different physical laws involved in the filtration phase in order to get a simulator of the filtration process. Besides, many physical parameters rise in the system model and effect enormously the efficiency which should be modelled with precision such as permeability, porosity and viscosity. We use a constructive realization procedure for (2D) systems which may lead to a Fornasini–Marchesini local state-space model to describe the dynamic of the system states.
