Inhaltsangabe:

While continuous processing has always been considered the ideal method of operation of a chemical plant from the economic viewpoint and still remains the ultimate goal of the chemical engineer designing a new plant or unit, it is always amazing to me to see the amount of batch processing that remains in many chemical and petroleum plants. In addition, the more specialized companies such as the chemical specialties makers, the drug companies, and others require even more batch reaction equipment to carry out their production functions successfully. This major need for batch equipment is usually because these latter industries produce very high quality products in quantities too small to justify the economic cost of continuous production equipment. In addition, the use of batch equipment has allowed the production of purities and other quality parameters not readily attainable in continuous equipment. Batch equipment with its dynamically changing operating conditions during the period of the batch operation has always posed to the control engineer a challenge that has demanded the ultimate in his technical ingenuity. Each of the emerging automatic control technologies has been applied to batch equipment control as it has been developed, with an ever increasing success as control capabilities have advanced. Nevertheless, the batch reactor has continued to challenge the control engineer because of the great individuality and consequent lack of generality shown by each batch reactor control situation.
