Abstract :
Nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) has been introduced in commercial applications. Since mid 1996 approximately 50 applications have been commissioned in polymers, chemicals, food, pulp and paper, and oil refining. This industrial presentation provides a brief overview of the commercial NMPC package and presents a summary of a specific polymers application that was chosen to demonstrate the different nonlinear models that can be used in a NMPC application
