Abstract

The issue of control of batch chemical reactors is considered on the example of suspension polymerization processes. The relevance of the work is due to the nature of the suspension polymerization processes occurring in the reactor and not allowing to provide control based on classical single-loop control systems. It is shown that efficient control of the polymer synthesis reactor from the point of view of process technology is possible due to the presence of two stabilization loops in the control system: mixture temperature and stirrer rotation speed. Block diagrams of such control systems are given, the principle of their operation is described. Comparative analysis of the quality of systems was carried out by simulation. It is concluded that the above control systems are superior to single-circuit systems in all quality indicators, which confirms the feasibility of their development.
