TLDR
In this article, the problem of optimal control of the chemical neutralization of acidic wastewater by means of lime water is formulated as a problem of time-optimal control, and it is shown that the timeoptimal process of chemical neutralisation is also optimal from the point of view of the accuracy of approaching to the neutral state.Abstract:
The existing heat and power generation technologies involve the utilization of chemically treated water. Water treatment produces alkaline and acidic wastewaters, which must be neutralized. The paper considers the problem of optimal control of the chemical neutralization of acidic wastewater by means of lime water. The installation for neutralization consists of a tank and a recycling pipeline. The mathematical model of chemical neutralization comprises systems of nonlinear differential equations in parabolic partial derivatives to take into account the chemical reaction between the interacting components placed in the recycling pipeline or in the tank. The controlling action is alkali inflow rate at the inlet of the recycling-pump. The optimization problem is formulated as a problem of time-optimal control. It is shown that the time-optimal process of chemical neutralization is also optimal from the point of view of the accuracy of approaching to the neutral state.read more

TL;DR: It is shown that the performance of the new (BB-BC) method demonstrates superiority over an improved and enhanced genetic search algorithm also developed by the authors of this study, and outperforms the classical genetic algorithm (GA) for many benchmark test functions.

Optimal control of systems with distributed parameters
TL;DR: A statement of optimal control problems on systems with distributed parameters for a fairly broad class of systems described by non-linear integral equations under arbitrary constraints is given and a maximum principle is formulates, which gives the necessary conditions for determining optimal controls.

Thermal stability criterion integrated in model predictive control for batch reactors
TL;DR: It is shown that the stability criterion classifies the system behaviour more reliably for the case studies considered and is embedded in Model Predictive Control, which is a novel control scheme that allows the controlled increase of the reaction temperature while keeping the processes in a stable region, hence reducing the risk of thermal runaways.
