Abstract :
The main objective of this work is the design and implementation a numerical control solution for the ethylene reactor, the key-installation in the petrochemical industry. We introduce some technological characteristics of this petrochemical process and the main aspects about the control system solution for the process plant. A robust control strategy for numerical control systems are proposed. Finally, we found an optimal operating point, considering that the process has a nonlinear multivariable structure. The results have been implemented on an assembly of pyrolysis reactors on the petrochemical platform from Pitesti, Romania.
