Abstract

The Tennessee Eastman (TE) benchmark process provided by Downs and Vogel in 1993 is a realistic simulation of an actual commercial process. Due to the confidential considerations, real components, some physical properties, and kinetic data in this TE program are modified for academic research and industrial training. It is known that TE plant has seven possible operating modes for three different production mass ratios. Since then, several researches have utilized this TE plant to evaluate optimal operating conditions and performance of the proposed process flowsheets and control schemes. By studying the characteristics of different TE control structures presented in the literature, this work first apply commercial process design simulators to setting reasonable TE process flowsheets. Different operating modes and control performance are then tested by steady-state and dynamic simulations of this designed TE flowsheet. Finally, mode transition control strategies proposed by Tu (2006) are then used to transfer the TE plant from one operating mode to other modes.
