Abstract
An identification experiment procedure for the optimizing control of reactor/separator processes with multiple material recycle streams is proposed. Steady state relation between the cost related variables and the operation variables are approximated through response surface models. To minimize the perturbation due to the identification experiments, Latin hypercube design is applied to the selection of the sampling points and their implementation sequence is determined by the application of the traveling salesman problem. The procedure is applied to the simulated HDA (hydrodealkylation of toluene) plant to identify an unconstrained optimal operating condition.
