Abstract
This paper develops a distributed model predictive control strategy for the atmospheric and vacuum distillation tower, which constitutes a key process involved in refining petroleum. When considering an MPC implementation, it is known that computational complexity can be reduced if the system is first decomposed into multiple smaller dimensional subsystems. Optimally exploiting the modern computer networks available in industry, a distributed model predictive control implementation is developed for the atmospheric and vacuum tower system, which is assumed to be part of a wider petroleum refining process comprised of a number of sub-systems connected in series. For each subsystem, given the availability of mutual communication channels between subsystems and by using an iterative calculation approach, it will be seen that Nash optimality can be achieved. A low-cost solution that is readily implementable online is seen to achieve the control objective. The effectiveness of the approach presented in the paper is validated by the results of nonlinear simulation experiments.
