Dynamic Controllability Analysis for Plantwide Process Design and Control

世界范围内的化工厂代表着数十亿美元的投资。在可控性方面对工艺设计的改进将有可能提供巨大的经济效益，因为这意味着提高生产率、降低运营成本和产品可变性。这项研究将是一个步骤，集成的过程设计和控制，这已被广泛认为是这种改进的关键。该项目的成果可以很容易地在工艺设计实践中实施，因此对澳大利亚和世界范围的过程工业产生直接影响，有助于建立一个更高效和环保的澳大利亚过程工业。

World-wide chemical plants represent many billions of dollars of investment. Improvements to the process designs in terms of controllability would have the potential to provide large economic benefits, as it implies improved productivity, reduced operating costs and product variability. This proposed research will be a step towards integration of process design and control, which has been widely recognized as the key to this improvement. The outcomes from this project may be readily implemented in process design practice, and therefore have a direct impact to the Australian and world-wide process industries, helping to build a more efficient and environmental conscious Australian process industries.
