Abstract
The mechanisms and methods employed in the integrated decision support of process systems and its corresponding problem definition environment are presented. A case study of a pilot plant packed distillation unit demonstrates the methods. The backmixing model is assumed to develop a rigorous dynamic model based on first principles for the continuous operation of the packed distillation column with a ternary feed composed. The model includes mass and energy balances, mass and heat transfer along the tower. A state-of-the-art modeling environment, capable of solving distributed and highly nonlinear equations on-line in non-stationary state is used to implement and test a number of advanced operational activities. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the AIChE Spring National Meeting (New Orleans LA 4/6-10/2008).
