Abstract

This paper is concerned with multivariate performance analysis and trouble shooting of an industrial distillation column model predictive control system. Control performance is analyzed through model validation of the distillation column, feed-forward and feedback control performance assessment of the existing MPC controller and multivariate analysis of variance of routine process operating data. Problems of the existing MPC controller and major disturbance sources are identified through this case study
