  • Abstract
    By virtue of its complex process dynamics and because of the conflict between its operating constraints and its economic objectives, the Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) unit offers a unique challenge to control engineers. This communication shows how these two issues were addressed in a multivariable control strategy which was implemented with the IDCOM-M controller on the FCC unit in a European refinery.
