OPTIMAL OPERATION OF BATCH MEMBRANE PROCESSES -...

This study concentrates on a general optimization of a particular class of membrane separation
processes: those involving batch diafiltration. Existing practices are explained and
operational improvements based on optimal control theory are suggested. The first part of the
book introduces the theory of membrane processes  optimal control and dynamic optimization.
Separation problems are defined and mathematical models of batch membrane processes derived.
The control theory focuses on problems of dynamic optimization from a chemical-engineering
point of view. Analytical and numerical methods that can be exploited to treat problems of
optimal control for membrane processes are described. The second part of the text builds on
this theoretical basis to establish solutions for membrane models of increasing complexity.
Each chapter starts with a derivation of optimal operation and continues with case studies
exemplifying various aspects of the control problems under consideration. The authors work
their way from the limiting flux model through increasingly generalized models to propose a
simple numerical approach to the general case of optimal operation for batch diafiltration
processes. Researchers interested in the modelling of batch processes or in the potential
industrial applications of optimal control theory will find this monograph a valuable source of
inspiration  instruction and ideas.
