Abstract

A new on-line optimization technique of a distillation column is presented. The equation decoupling method and the simultaneous solution method are combined to simulate the distillation process. The storage requirement is small enough to run on a PC. A improved successive quadratic programming is used to find the optimum operating conditions. The optimizer is intensively tested by using the dynamic simulator, SPEEDUP. After this, the technique is applied to a binary distillation column that treats methanol and water.
