Simulation and Control of Reactive Distillation Column Ujjwal Kapoor, Asha Rani, Vijander Singh, J.R.P Gupta Abstract: The paper discusses about the application of PID controller and fuzzy controller in reactive distillation column. A generic mathematical model of reactive distillation has been taken for simulation. The PID and fuzzy controllers are designed for the process and then the overall process is controlled by using conventional (PID) and intelligent (fuzzy) controllers separately. Conventional PID controller is used to control the temperature of the column and then it is replaced by fuzzy controller and then the results from both the controllers are compared. Index Terms— Reactive distillation column, PID controller, Fuzzy PID controller. I. INTRODUCTION Distillation Column is the most popular and important process studied in the Instrumentation & Control Engineering literature. It is used in many chemical processes for separating feed streams and for purification of final and intermediate product streams. Reactive distillation is attractive in those systems where certain chemical and phase equilibrium conditions exist because there are many types of reactions, there are many types of reactive distillation columns. In this section, the ideal classical situation is described, which will serve to outline the basics of reactive distillation. Consider the system in which the chemical reaction involves two reactants (A and B) producing two products (C and D). The reaction takes place in the liquid phase and is reversible. quality of the distillate is controlled using the temperature control. The temperature is controlled by controllers. The controller can be of different types. Some of them are as follows. An automated system is used to maintain its output within desirable limits by means of a control action. Any deviation of the output from the
