Hybrid Intelligent Approach for Predicting Product Compositions of a Distillation Column

Abstract

 Compositions measurement is a vitally critical issue for the modelling and control of distillation process. The product compositions of distillation columns are traditionally measured using indirect techniques via inferring tray compositions from its temperature or by using an online analyser. These techniques were reported as inefficient and relatively slow methods. In this paper, an alternative procedure is presented to predict the compositions of a binary distillation column. Particle swarm optimisation based artificial neural network PSO-ANN is trained by different algorithms and tested by new unseen data to check the generality of the proposed method. Particle swarm optimization is utilised, here, to choose the optimal topology of the network. The simulation results have indicated a reasonable accuracy of prediction with a minimal error between the predicted and simulated data of the column.
