Abstract

The multivariable self-tuning controllers of Chien et al. incorporate a Smith predictor-type of time delay compensation (STC-TDC). These are applied to dual composition control of a pilot-scale multicomponent distillation process. Both versions of the STC-TDC, i. e. , with and without decoupling, are compared with a standard dual-loop PI controller and are seen to provide excellent control in the face of significant process interactions and nonlinearities.
