Multi-Output Soft Sensor with a Multivariate Filter That Predicts Errors Applied to an Industrial Reactive Distillation Process

The paper deals with the problem of developing a multi-output soft sensor for the industrial reactive distillation process of methyl tert-butyl ether production. Unlike the existing soft sensor approaches, this paper proposes using a soft sensor with filters to predict model errors, which are then t...
