Nonlinearities exist in all process control systems. The use of linear control techniques is valid only in a narrow region of operation. Nonlinear control is central to future industrial development. In this book, multivariable nonlinear control techniques based on differential geometry are considered in a pragmatic manner. The book provides a simplified and systematic approach to geometric nonlinear control theory. A case study of an industrial evaporator is used as an example throughout the entire book. Various other examples are also used throughout the text to illustrate the theory. The book successfully demonstrates the superiority and simplicity of the class of controllers studied through simulations and actual plant implementations. The simulations were done using the symbolic computation package MAPLE. Discussions are given on the application of symbolic computation in process engineering.This book is aimed at industrial practitioners and postgraduates in engineering, and will be particularly valuable to practicing engineers who find the theory books on control somewhat heavy going. The insights provided in the book will encourage more industrial implementations of nonlinear controllers, and thereby help to bridge the widening gap between control theory and industrial practice.

This Proceedings contains papers presented at the sixth IFAC Symposium on Dynamics and Control of Chemical Processes (DYCOPS 2001), which was held on Jejudo Island, Korea, on June 4-6, 2001. The triennial DYCOPS symposium is one of IFAC's highest-profile regular events, and has established an enviable reputation for quality. The reputation and coverage of DYCOPS ensures that these events always provide a comprehensive showcase of the best and latest research into all aspects of process control. DYCOPS-6 had as its theme "Bridging Engineering with Science," and explored how the process control community should react to wider developments in chemical engineering research, where molecular-level phenomena and product design as related to materials and biotechnology are becoming increasingly important. Featuring papers by many of the world's leading experts in process control, the Proceedings of DYCOPS-6 form an indispensable resource for process control engineers and for chemical engineers seeking to understand the latest developments in chemical process control. Altogether over 100 papers are presented, on topics such as batch process control, model predictive control, control of distillation columns, fault detection, and many others.

Nonlinear Process Control assembles the latest theoretical and practical research on design, analysis and application of nonlinear process control strategies. It presents detailed coverage of all three major elements of nonlinear process control: identification, controller design, and state estimation. Nonlinear Process Control reflects the contributions of eleven leading researchers in the field. It is an ideal textbook for graduate courses in process control, as well as a concise, up-to-date reference for control engineers.
