Abstract

Batch and semi-batch polymerization reactors with specified trajectories for certain process variables present challenging control problems. This work reports, results and procedures related to the application of PI (proportional and integral) fuzzy control in a semi-batch reactor for the production of nylon 6. Closed loop simulation results were based on a phenomenological model adjusted for a commercial reactor and they attest to the potential benefits and versatility of the use of PI fuzzy control in polymerization systems.
