  • Abstract
    This contribution addresses the development of a Linear Quadratic regulator (LQ) for controlling concentration profiles along a catalytic distillation column which is modelled by a set of coupled hyperbolic Partial Differential and Algebraic Equations (PDAEs). The methodology is based on an infinite-dimensional representation of the system and solving the related Operator Riccati Equation (ORE). The performance of the designed control policy is assessed through a numerical simulation.
