Improve BATCH REACTOR temperature control

摘要

REACTOR TEMPERATURE control typically is very important to product quality, production rate and operating costs. With continuous reactors, the usual objectives are to: 1. hold temperature within a certain band around the set point, preferably without oscillation; 2. minimize operator intervention; and 3. minimize consumption of utilities. Batch reactors generally demand some additional objectives such as: 4. fast heatup or cooldown to a new set point without oscillation and with minimal overshoot; and 5. stable response to load disturbances, e.g., an exothermic reaction.
