RESUMO

This work is concerned in the application of fuzzy logic in chemical process control. Fuzzy controllers development and implementation were described and applied to a binary system batch distillation. Algorithms of fuzzy control that are similar to conventional P, PI, PID controllers were developed and implemented in FORTRAN. First of all, algorithms were tested coupled to a batch distillation dynamic simulator, available in C language. Both influence and interaction of design parameters were evaluated over fuzzy controller performance. Simulation results showed that scale parameters hardly affect the controller dynamic response: set point maintenance, time response and oscillations showed different behaviours. Fuzzy control algorithms were then experimentally used in the on line operation of a pilot batch distillation column. N-hexane/n-heptane mixtures were distilled. Top and bottom compositions were obtained from temperature measurements and inferred through liquid-vapour equilibrium data. Two different composition policies were used for distillate withdrawn: a fixed set point composition and a predetermined set point trajectory of top composition. Different distillate cuts could be obtained during a batch operation under second strategy. Using fixed set point strategy, PI and PID fuzzy controllers performances were compared to conventional PI (velocity form) and PID (position and velocity form) respectively. Experimental results showed that fuzzy controllers performance is superior to conventional P, PI and PID controllers ...Note: The complete abstract is available with the full electronic digital thesis or dissertations
