Abstract
Batch and semi-batch chemical reactors are extensively used in the polymer, fine chemical and pharmaceutical industries. The involved temperature control has shown to be of fundamental importance from product quality and process reproductibility points of view. Such a temperature control problem is commonly hadeled using standard PID controllers. This paper presents an experimental evaluation of a robust LQG control approach involving a chemical reactor pilot. The robustness requirement is achieved through an appropriate shaping of the usual sensitivity function of the control system. A robust parameter adaptation is used to incorporate an auto-tuning as well as an auto-calibation capability into the control design thanks to the available and comprehensive adaptive control theory.
