Two-Layer Predictive Control of a Continuous Biodiesel Transesterification Reactor

Two-Layer Predictive Control of a Continuous Biodiesel Transesterification Reactor

A novel two-layer predictive control scheme for a continuous biodiesel transesterification reactor is presented. Based on a validated mechanistic model, the least squares (LS) algorithm is used to identify the finite step response (FSR) process model adapted in the controller. The two-layer predicti...
