Abstract :
One of the main elements of a cryogenic (13C) separation column is the boiler. The control of the power supply which feeds the boiler´s resistance is of major importance. In order to ensure a safe and stable operation of the plant, a monitoring and control unit is designed using NI PXI-8183 process computer. The developed LabVIEW™ application implements a PI controller and also data logging. Step response and disturbance rejection test are carried out to prove the feasibility of the design.
