The relevant trends in process industry could be summarized as: better profitability, increased flexibility and the incorporation of sustainability.
The current research focus is on profitability and flexibility and could be summarized as model-based control/optimization of “difficult” unit operations and complete plants. In this research three aspects can be recognized: Modeling: this includes modeling, validation, identification and reduction. After modeling we should end up with a model that has sufficient accurate predictive power at acceptable computational cost. Observation: Attention is paid to extended Kalman filters and horizon estimators. Control/optimization: The research in this area concentrates on dynamic optimization (sequential and simultaneous approach) but also on the integration of control and optimization.
