Abstract

This paper presents an application of plantwide control strategy for a complex process, like catalytic cracking process. The plantwide control strategy assists the engineer in determining how to choose the best manipulated, controlled and measured variables in the plant, when is using advanced control techniques such MPC. The result of applying plantwide control to catalytic cracking process is a hierarchical control structure, which is organized on three levels, with two advanced control techniques for the second level. From economic point of view, the development and the implementation a hierarchical control structure for the catalytic cracking process is leading to increase plant efficiency.
