Control Structure Design of Process Systems with Recycle and Purge

Abstract
In this research, self-optimizing method has been used to design a plant-wide control structure for processes containing purge and recycle streams. The method is based on the concept of self-optimizing variables to maximize the process profitability in the presence of possible disturbances. The purpose of this thesis is to perform this procedure on ammonia and methanol processes containing purge and recycle streams.Using the results obtained for the ammonia process and considering the constraints and operating conditions of the problem, the active constraints of this process were detected which were cooling water flow rates to exchangers. According to local analysis method, self-optimizing...
