Neural Network Controller for a Crude Oil Distillation Column
نویسندگان
چکیده
The development of neural network that could be used for the control of an industrial process is discussed. Field data from a working distillation column or fractionator of crude oil refinery in Nigeria was used for the development and testing the effectiveness of the controller. The developed controller performed optimally when compared with the installed distributed control system based on proportional integral and derivative algorithm in the company with well over 95% correlation between the expected data and obtained data.

Rejection of the Feed-Flow Disturbances in a Multi-Component Distillation Column Using a Multiple Neural Network Model-Predictive Controller
This article deals with the issues associated with developing a new design methodology for the nonlinear model-predictive control (MPC) of a chemical plant. A combination of multiple neural networks is selected and used to model a nonlinear multi-input multi-output (MIMO) process with time delays. An optimization procedure for a neural MPC algorithm based on this model is then developed. T...

 Abstract: In this paper, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) was used for modeling the nonlinear structure of a debutanizer column in a refinery gas process plant. The actual input-output data of the system were measured in order to be used for system identification based on root mean square error (RMSE) minimization approach. It was shown that the designed recurrent neural network is able to pr...
