Our control objective for the jacketed stirred reactor is to maintain reactor exit stream temperature at set point in spite of disturbances caused by a changing cooling liquid temperature entering the vessel jacket. In previous articles, we have established thedesign level of operation for the reactor and explored the performance of a single loopPI controller and a PID with CO Filter controller in meeting our control objective.


Our control objective for the jacketed stirred reactor process is to minimize the impact on reactor operation when the temperature of the liquid entering the cooling jacket changes. We have previously explored the modes of operation and dynamic CO-to-PV behavior of the reactor. We also have established the performance of a single loop PI controller […]
