RESUMO

This work comprises the development of a neural network- based model for quality inference of low density polyethylene (LDPE). Plant data corresponding to the process variables of a petrochemical company`s LDPE reactor were used for model development. The data were preprocessed in the following manner: first, the most relevant process variables were selected, then data were conditioned and normalized. The neural network- based model was able to accurately predict the value of the polymer melt index as a function of the process variables. This model`s performance was compared with that of two mechanistic models developed from first principles. The comparison was made through the models` mean absolute percentage error, which was calculated with respect to experimental values of the melt index. The results obtained confirm the neural network model`s ability to infer values of quality-related measurements of the LDPE reactor.
