In this contribution a global optimization technique is applied to the estimation of the domains of attraction of reacting systems, which are major operation units within chemical and biochemical process industries. Specifically, a study based on the comparison of estimations with different Lyapunov functions and the actual DOA of the system will be performed. Then, the implications of the knowledge of such estimations will be analyzed in the context of the closed and open loop operations of the reactor.
