Cоntrоl System Design fоr а Volаtile Reаctor-Gas Scrubber System A specialty chemical plant operates a continuous volatile polymerization reactor that releases a toxic gas by-product (NOx) as part of its process. The reactor is cooled using a chilled ethylene glycol jacket, and the NOx emissions are controlled by a gas scrubber system that injects caustic solution to neutralize the gas before release. Reactor Temperature Control The reactor’s temperature behavior with respect to coolant flow is characterized by a first-order transfer function: Where: T(s) the deviation of reactor temperature from nominal (°C), Q(s) is the deviation of coolant flow rate (L/min) from nominal (500 L/min), The temperature is measured by an Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) with a first-order lag of 20 s, The valve controlling coolant has a time constant of 25 s and is normally 50% open. The transmitter outputs 0–10 V for 50–150 °C, and the controller outputs 0–10 V to the valve. NOx Scrubber Emission Control The scrubber has been tested and exhibits the following transfer function: where: CNOx(s) is the NOx concentration deviation (ppm) from nominal (200 ppm), FNaOH(s) is the flow rate of caustic solution (L/min) from nominal (150 L/min), The sensor has a measurement gain of 2.0 mV/ppm and no delay, The actuator (a dosing pump) has a gain of ±1.5 L/min/V and exhibits a 0.2 min time constant. The controller used is a PI controller with positive proportional gain, and the integral time constant is 0.6 min. [SISO Design] For the reactor temperature control loop, identify: Controlled Variable (CV) Manipulated Variable (MV) Likely Disturbances (DVs) Then, sketch the instrument diagram and block diagram for the temperature control loop. [Controller & Valve Action]Considering the reactor is exothermic and the process gain is negative, determine: The appropriate controller action (direct or reverse) The valve action (fail-open or fail-closed) Justify your answer. [Stability of NOx Control]For the NOx scrubber control system: Determine whether the actuator gain should be positive or negative, assuming the PI controller has a positive proportional gain. Justify based on the loop gain. [PI Controller Tuning: Stability Limit]For the NOx system, determine the range of proportional gain KcK_cKc that results in a stable closed-loop system with the given PI controller. Show your work. [Alternative Tuning: PD Controller]Suppose a PD controller with a derivative time constant of 0.6 min is used instead. What range of KcK_cKc ensures closed-loop stability? [Damping Design]If a damping ratio of 0.6 is desired for the NOx control loop, choose between PI or PD controller and estimate the value of KcK_cKc required. What is the corresponding natural frequency of the closed-loop system? [Realistic System Simulation]Now account for the measurement and actuator dynamics in the NOx system. Use your chosen controller from (6) and simulate the response to a −15 ppm step decrease in NOx setpoint. Sketch or describe the expected system behavior. [Controller Output Analysis]Based on your simulation, describe how the controller output (in volts) would behave initially and over time. Comment on whether there is an initial jump, a steady change, or overshoot in the controller signal.
