Abstract
Abstract This paper focuses on temperature control of multipurpose batch reactors used for fine chemicals production. In this work, an experimental study using a cascaded model based control is presented. This strategy is based on the use of the thermal flux as a manipulated variable. The master controller computes at each sampling time the thermal flux to be exchanged with the thermal fluid flowing inside the jacket to achieve the desired reactor temperature. This information is then used to determine the right fluid and to evaluate the opening value of the control valve. For this purpose a physical modelling of the thermal system has been developed. Then, the control valve opening degree is computed and applied to the plant.
