Model-Predictive Feedback Control of Particle Size Distribution in Continuous Fluidised Bed Spray Granulation
Recycling of milled product particles in continuous fluidised bed spray granulation can lead to sustained oscillations in the particle size distribution. In this contribution, a model-predictive feedback control scheme is presented that allows for stabilisation of unstable steady-states. The feedback law is designed based on a population balance model, which describes the temporal evolution of the particle size distribution due to the particulate processes, and is compared with traditional design methods (PI, LQR).
