Abstract :
Inherent pH process nonlinearity and time-varying characteristics impose a highly challenging control problem. This paper presents an incorporation of offline process model identification and a QFT control methodology to develop a robust control scheme for a pH neutralization process plant on the basis of SISO QFT bounds. The obtained simulation results indicate the efficiency of the proposed control scheme to accomplish both the regulatory and servo tracking objectives.
