Design of a self tuning regulator for temperature control of a polymerization...ISA Interchange
The temperature control of a polymerization reactor described by Chylla and Haase, a control engineering benchmark problem, is used to illustrate the potential of adaptive control design by employing a self-tuning regulator concept. In the benchmark scenario, the operation of the reactor must be guaranteed under various disturbing influences, e.g., changing ambient temperatures or impurity of the monomer. The conventional cascade control provides a robust operation, but often lacks in control performance concerning the required strict temperature tolerances. The self-tuning control concept presented in this contribution solves the problem. This design calculates a trajectory for the cooling jacket temperature in order to follow a predefined trajectory of the reactor temperature. The reaction heat and the heat transfer coefficient in the energy balance are estimated online by using an unscented Kalman filter (UKF). Two simple physically motivated relations are employed, which allow the non-delayed estimation of both quantities. Simulation results under model uncertainties show the effectiveness of the self-tuning control concept.

2. 1 The Ideal Batch Reactor
A Batch reactor generally consists of a closed vessel
provided with a means of stirring and where the
temperature is controlled. Figure 2.1 shows such type of
reactor.
Cj
Figure 2.1 Typical batch reactor
2. In batch reactor,
no material is supplied to or withdrawn from reactor
during the reaction
the reaction proceeds quickly at first, because of high
concentration of all reactants and
the composition is only a function of time.
due to the well mixing of the composition throughout the
vessel.The total mass of the reaction i.e., concentration
and temperature are identical over the reactor volume
The volume of the batch reactor is the space occupied by the
reacting mixture and it may vary during the course of reaction. In
gas phase, the volume may be varied as required to maintain the
pressure constant.

The general problem in designing a batch reactor
is to calculate the volume of the reactor for a certain average
rate of production.
The volume can be obtained from the required
degree of conversion and the corresponding time.
The reaction time of a batch reactor can
be determined by using material balance
6. 2.1. 1 Design of batch reactors
It is important to note that we are dealing a process design
not a mechanical design.
For process designing a reactor, we need a
material balance. Noting that in batch reactor, no
material enters or leaves the reaction mixture during the
course of reaction,
The material balance of equation (1.9) for
component A becomes,
f

r

(2.1)
We know from the condition that the reaction mixture is
perfectly mixed and so no variation in the rate of reaction
throughout the reactor volume takes place. Due to this, we
can take rA out of the integral and we write the equation (2.1)
in the form

8. Equations (2.3) and (2.4) are the general design equations
showing, the reaction time required for either constant or

operation. Thus, the volume of reacting fluid and the
reaction rate remain under the integral sign, since they
both change as reaction proceeds
Time involvement of the operation in batch reactor.
In completing a batch process, four types of periods
are required. These are:
•Preparation time tch, during which a reaction is made
ready and fresh reactants are charged.
•Reaction time, tr, during which the reaction proceeds to
the desired conversion.
•Recovery time, td, during which the product is
discharged and return to the normal operating condition.
•Cleaning time, tcl , during which the reactor is cleaned.

operating cycle of a batch reactor is described.

The capacity of the batch reactor, which is the quantity
of the product obtained per unit time is reduced due to this
auxiliary time, and it is the major limitation of a batch
reactor especially when it is used for a bigger product operation.
To carry out the integration of the design equation (2.4.1),
we need to know how the reaction rate (-rA) varies with the
conversion of the reacting species
Generally given (-rA)as a function of conversion
(concentration), one can find the time of reaction and
eventually also the size of a reactor. We do this by
constructing the so called a Levenspiel plot

11. Relevant in reactor design
is a mathematical description that can predict reactor outlet
concentration and temperature from
inlet concentration, rate of reaction and reactor
dimensions.
These equations by nature are complicated unless systematically
organized and solved. One way of solving such equations is by
using algorithm.
Algorithm is a rule or calculation procedure for solving a
mathematical problem that frequently involves extensive
numerical operations.
For an example, if we want to design isothermal batch reactor, the
algorithm steps will be as under:
12. Step1 : We begin by applying our general mole balance
equation to arrive at the design equation of the batch
reactor.
Step2 : We determine the rate equation as the function of
concentrations.
Step3 : We change the concentration in terms of conversion
using stoichiometry relationship.
Step4 : Combine the steps 2 and 3 to obtain

13. 2.1.2 Heat Effect on the batch reactors
Generally, all chemical reactions are in principle
accompanied by the evolution(exothermic) or absorption
(endothermic) of heat. Changes of temperature during
reaction are common in reactors This happens deliberately (by
heat exchange with the surroundings) or by the nature of the
reaction. The temperature change due to the nature of reaction
versus conversion is shown in the Figure 2.10

In designing a non-isothermal reactor basic design equations i.e.,

mole balance design equation. The only thing we have
to consider additionally is the change of
temperature during the reaction
15. Let us consider the following highly exothermic reaction carried

17. (A) Isothermal Batch Reactor
Generally due to the nature of the reaction, the heat is
evolved or absorbed during the reaction, thus it is
hard to imagine a chemical reaction that has a reaction heat
of zero.
Normally to bring in isothermal condition, the reaction is
brought immediately to that of the surrounding by cooling
(if the reaction is exothermic) or heating (if the reaction is
endothermic) i.e., the temperature of the reacting mixture is
maintained constant through out the course of reaction.
This happens with the assistance of the heat transfer
medium under perfectly stirring condition.
In isothermal operation, there is no change of reaction
temperature, i.e., constant temperature (dT = O). If the
reactor is to be operated isothermally, the rate of reaction can
be expressed as a function of concentration only, not as a
function of temperature, then

20. (B) Non – isothermal Batch Reactor
This is sometimes called thermal reactors. Two cases
During reaction heat absorbed or released,
there are deliberate acts of heat introduced or removed from
the reactor, which accounts for heat losses to the surrounding.
Thus the design of non-isothermal reactors
requires simultaneous solutions of the material and energy
balance equations
There are a lot of questions to be answered to design
such type of reactors, such as type of materials of
construction, heat transfer equipment etc.
The temperature is not constant and varies during the
course of reaction, then the rate of reaction will be a function of
temperature as well as conversion

23. C. Adiabatic Operation
Adiabatic reactors operate without any heat addition
or removal
Based on these facts adiabatic reactors are
inexpensive and are used almost in all the industry.
Adiabatic reactors can be used when:
•The heat of reaction is low where desired conversion and
yield can be attained without excessive temperature change.
•For high exothermic reaction, inerts or excess of one reactant
can be added so that the desired conversion and yield are not
adversely affected by excessive temperature change.

The higher value of adiabatic temperature i.e., the
gradient rise is an indication of a stronger thermal effect
of the reaction mixture.
These thermal effects can be subdued through the

by addition of excessive amounts of some of the
reactants or inerts. This effect is shown in the Figure (2.14)

It is often a vertical cylinder with an elliptical bottom. The reactor
should be constructed in such a way that it can withstand vacuum
and some internal pressure. The material used for its
construction is generally suitable for various reactionary
processes. Most often used is a glass-lined steel vessel.
30. This type of reactor is used especially for high corrosion
materials. Table 2.2 gives the main characteristics of a standard
reactors that are sold commercially. Figure 2.15 shows the
illustrations of a simple batch reactor working in the industry.

32. (B) Heat Exchanger
The heat exchanger can be located inside the reactor (coil,
plates) outside it (conventional heat exchanger) or could be
manufactured together with the reactor wall (double jacket).
Figure 2.16 -2.18 illustrates different type of a reactor with heat
exchange mechanism
Figure 2. 16 Batch reactor with double jacket
35. (C) Stirrer
Stirrer is used to mix the reactor contents uniformly so that
the concentration remains the same throughout the reactor.
There are a number of stirrers used in the technology, such as
marine -, turbine-, vane disc-, paddle-, anchor-, double motion-,
etc. stirrers. The selection of stirrer type, its dimensions and
arrangement are dependant on the type of fluid in the reactor and
the stirring is achieved in the operation.
(D) Auxiliaries
Water, steam, or a heat transfer medium, electrical energy etc.
can be used in the operation
36. 2.2 Ideal semi-batch reactor design
The semi-batch reactor is a tank type operated on a non-
steady flow basis. Semi-batch occurs when some reactants are
charged into the reactor at time zero, while other reactants are
added during the reaction. Figure 2.17 illustrate typical semi-batch
reactor.

37. Semi-batch reactor is inevitable when:
•It is essential to regulate the heat effect of high exothermic
reaction. This can be achieved through regulating the rate of
addition of one of the reactants so that the energy evolution
can be controlled.
•To minimize unwanted side products by maintaining low
concentration of one of the reactants, where it is possible to
maximize the selectivity of the product especially in the liquid
phase reaction.
•It is required to remove one of the products to increase the
equilibrium of the reaction to the application of Le Chatelier’s
principle
1.Material balance
For the semi-batch reactor design all the four terms in the
general mass balance of equation (1.9) may have to be
considered.
