Resumen:
In this work the study of a simple
plant formed by a fixed temperature and liquid face
reactor, a distillation column and a material recycle is
proposed. This academic case was extensively studied
in the literature, even though its simplicity, allows to
understand the main interaction effects and changes
of time response due to the recycle existence. Different
control schemes, tested before and based on achieving
the optimum, since the economic point of view are
analyzed here. However, the steady-state study shows
that most of them present problems to handle properly
load changes. Most of the proposed strategies
cannot deal with the trade-off between economic and
operability objectives specially for this kind of plants
where the fast increase of the material recycle, recognized
as snowball effect (SE), often occurs. Thus, in
this work a control strategy for reducing the SE achieving
good operability and profitable working point is
discussed. Several results, confronted with other methodologies,
obtained from the steady state and dynamic
analysis are presented in order to demonstrate the
potentiality of the proposed technique.
