Model Reference Adaptive Control of Binary Distillation Column Composition using MIT Adaptive Mechanism

Abstract

This paper presents a model reference adaptive control for binary distillation column based on the adaptation mechanism calledMIT rule.The goals are: to present a theoretical calculation procedure of a binary distillation column for simulation. Second, the controller design: a reduced-order linear model is derived suchthat it best reflects the dynamics of the distillation process and used as the reference model.Third, selecting an adaptation mechanism suitable for the system.Simulation results using MATLAB shows that the responses are satisfactory and stability is achieved.
