The purpose of this paper is an experimental proof-of-concept of the application of NMPC for large scale systems using specialized dynamic optimization strategies. For this aim we investigate the application of modern, computationally efficient NMPC schemes and realtime optimization techniques to a nontrivial process control example, namely the control of a high purity binary distillation column. All necessary steps are discussed, from formulation of a DAE model with 164 states up to the final application to the experimental apparatus. Especially an efficient real-time optimization scheme based on the direct multiple shooting method is introduced. It is characterized by an initial value embedding strategy, that allows to immediately respond to disturbances, and real-time iterations, that dovetail the optimization iterations with the real process development. Using this scheme, sampling times of 10 seconds are feasible on a standard PC. This shows that an efficient NMPC scheme based on large scale DAE models is feasible for the real-time control of a pilot scale distillation column.
