Decentralized Process Control of Reactive Dividing Wall Columns

In this work a decentralized control structure for the reactive dividing wall column (RDWC) is proposed. Based on sensitivity analyses with a steady state model the optimal pairing of controlled and manipulated variables is shown. For the first time an experimental study about a RDWC control structu...
