Abstract

The robust control system of multi-component oil atmospheric distillation column was designed. Since the dynamics of the column can not be accurately modeled, a set of models, used at different design stages of the control system was developed. In the paper, the robustness of the control system means the preservation of its high quality when connecting any model of the developed set. The big advantage of the system is the fact that it is based on a multi-dimensional digital linear-quadratic regulator and the parameters that determine the material balance of the column are used as controlled variables. Such a system is easy to implement and can successfully replace traditional control systems of oil distillation columns and modern commercial control systems, which are based on model-predictive controllers popular in the global oil and gas industry.
