CIPS-based alcohol production process monitoring and optimal control systems

CIPS plays an important role in the field of continuous process automation. In this paper, the problem of process monitoring and control for alcohol production is first presented. A three-layer DCS is used for process measurement and monitoring, in which fuzzy logic-based PID controllers are utilized to fine-tune the key parameters. We also explore the optimal control strategy in both off-line and on-line optimization. The implementation details of these two proposed schemes under a CIPS information integration environment are further given.
