    Abstract
    A hybrid controller is proposed for Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) processes. Since the process is described by a set of Partial Differential Algebraic Equations (PDAE's), first a Local Reduced Order Model (LROM) for the process is developed and then it is formalized as a hybrid system. A controller is designed for purity control of the process in the presence of external disturbances, by determining the maximal safe set of the LROM. Hybrid backward reachability analysis is performed for this purpose. The controller is designed and applied to a two-bed, six-step PSA process whose dynamical behavior is simulated by a full-order principle-based model of the process. Excellent performance of...

    Abstract
    The aim of this paper is to synthesize a hybrid controller for pressure swing adsorption (PSA) processes. Since the process is described by a set of partial differential algebraic equations, first a local reduced-order model (LROM) for the process is developed and is formalized as a hybrid system. A hybrid controller is designed for purity control of the process in the presence of external disturbances by determining the maximal safe set of the LROM. A hybrid backward reachability analysis is performed for this purpose. Considering a realistic scenario for PSA processes where the states are not available and the number of measurement sensors is very limited, the desired states are estimated...
