Abstract
In this work, optimal operating conditions for a packed distillation column and optimal adaptive generalized predictive control (OA-GPC) were investigated. Thus, the dynamic and steady-state properties of the packed distillation column distilling methanol-water mixture were observed experimentally and theoretically. Mathematical models for the packed distillation column were solved with orthogonal collocation on finite elements. Optimal operating conditions of the system were found by using Box-Wilson optimization method and "Experimental Design" technique.
