Abstract
The main objective of this work is to develop, using a predictive control method, an off-line determination of the operating parameters for a sludge drying stage. At each time step, two operating parameters are identified by simultaneously minimizing three objective functions over a finite horizon. A laboratory dryer is briefly presented and used, in order to evaluate the suitability of the direct model employed to simulate sludge drying. Surface temperature, drying kinetics, and evaporated mass flux obtained from experimental measurements are compared to numerical simulations. Afterward, the optimization procedure is carried out and the results are discussed.
