Abstract : |
This short paper outlines the computer simulation using real data of a decoupled control system for a desalination unit. The control strategy incorporated a perfect decoupled controller for the control of the fresh water flow and conductivity. The model was estimated using real data and empirical tools instead of mass balances. The success is demonstrated in the reduction of wide fluctuations in the variables of the process and decreasing of the sensibility to the changes of pressure and/or pH and allows predicting problems of quality of water and waste of energy in the future., |
