Description
Summary:This paper discusses the first steps towards the formulation and implementation of a generic and flexible model centric framework for integrated simulation, estimation, optimization and feedback control of polymerization systems. Off-line capabilities of the framework were fully tested experimentally for model validations, parameter estimation as well as for process optimization using the Automatic Continuous Online Monitoring of Polymerization reactions (ACOMP). A brief analysis on the controllability of the system under feedback conditions was also performed through a combination of simulation and experimental runs. Results are provided for free radical solution polymerization of methyl methacrylate system (MMA).
