This paper deals with the systematic design and test of process control structures for dividing wall columns. A platform, named ConStructDWC, is presented which can be applied for this purpose. With the help of ConStructDWC the task of developing a process control structure is solved almost automatically. In the following, the contents of ConStructDWC and its functions are described. Additionally ConStructDWC is used for a dividing wall column in pilot scale. The results and an experimental test verify the practicability of the developed platform.
