摘要

The sustained growth of energy consumption worldwide, the reduction of oil reserves, and the growing awareness about the negative environmental consequences that generate the main current energy sources have led to the search for alternative and renewable energy sources, including biofuels and, in particular, the biodiesel. Biodiesel is a liquid fuel produced from vegetable oils or animal fat and low molecular weight alcohols. There are many literature and pilot plants with different technologies for the production of this type of biofuel. However, on an industrial scale production, the homogeneous alkaline transesterification is the most commonly used process. However, it is essential that the final product meets the quality specifications for a successful entry in local and international markets. In this chapter, the implementation of an advanced control strategy based on Model Predictive Control (MPC) is proposed. This strategy uses an MPC controller for the neutralization and washing area of a continuous biodiesel production plant, which is modelled with Aspen Hysys ® software. This rigorous model is considered a benchmark in the process control community. The neutralization and washing area of the biodiesel plant was selected as case study due to its direct impact on the quality of the final product. In addition, the complexity of the control strategy based on decentralized controllers with override control found in the literature reinforces the idea of using MPC, which is a multivariable control strategy that inherently allows incorporating constraints into the control formulation. The MPC design considers the biodiesel quality specifications related to the purity and maximum impurities concentrations allowed in the product. Also, operational constraints of the manipulated variables have also been included. The area under study has several controlled, manipulated, and measured disturbance variables. Analyzing the control requisites, some variables need to be controlled at a fixed value while the others need only be maintained within specific operating zones. MPC is a model-based control strategy. Therefore, it was necessary to have a control-oriented model of the area to be controlled. Hence, we proceeded to identify several models (linear and nonlinear) to represent the system behavior using the data collected from the rigorous Aspen Hysys ® simulation environment. Accordingly, different MPC controllers have been developed and tested. Then, the controller performance is evaluated by using the servo/regulator characteristics at the closed-loop. The results show that the controllers were able to track the references and reject the disturbances successfully, keeping all outputs within the specified constraints.
