Integration of design and control for distillation columns through dynamic optimization

https://doi.org/10.58571/CNCA.AMCA.2022.088

Resumen: In this work, a methodology for the integration of design and control methods for distillation columns through dynamic optimization tools is proposed. For this, a dynamic model of the distillation column that can be adapted to different mixtures (binary and multicomponent) is established. The proposal focuses on defining an objective function to simultaneously maximize the performance in the mixture separation under the lowest energy consumption. The design variables (i.e., number of trays and feeding stage), as well as the controller parameters, are considered as decision variables. The results obtained show that it is possible to improve the overall performance of the distillation column, compared to traditional strategies.
