Distillation Column Control

The Distillation Control workshop demonstrates the control that can be implemented on a Distillation Column. This distillation example illustrates how composition control is stabilized through the use of ratio control and feed forward with dynamic compensation.

Step 1. In the distillation control workspace, observe the control response for a change in feed input.

Step 2. Change the setpoint of the overhead distillate composition and observe the response.
