Abstract

The development of an integrated, real-time computing environment for advanced process control development using Hysys, Excel and Matlab linked with each other is described. The potential of this integrated, real-time computing environment is demonstrated by implementing a pseudo random binary sequence and dynamic matrix control model predictive control algorithm on a water-methanol distillation column which is part of a dimethyl ether production plant
