Abstract:
A strategy for control of the glucose feed rate in cultivations of
phE.~coli is discussed. By making probing pulses in the feed rate it
is possible to detect and avoid a characteristic saturation linked
to undesirable by-product formation. A simplification of a previous
algorithm is presented and analyzed.

Abstract:
In this paper we present nonlinear observers for a class of biotechnological
processes. These observers are an extension of the asymptotic observers
(observers with unknown inputs) devoted to biotechnological systems
for which some parts of the model are unknown. We take benefit of
the outputs which are non linear functions of the state to design a
close loop observer. The global convergence of these nonlinear observers
is proven. The method is illustrated with an experimental application
to a water treatment process.

Abstract:
A robust set-valued regulation law is proposed for the stabilization
of an anaerobic digester for the treatment of wastewater. This process
exhibits a highly nonlinear dynamic behavior. In addition, it must
operate in an uncertain environment with the presence of unknown inputs.
Supporting some structural and operational conditions, this regulation
law exponentially stabilizes the two most important variables in the
anaerobic digester: the Chemical Oxygen Demand concentration and the
Volatile Fatty Acids concentration around a desirable steady state
in the presence of kinetic uncertainties and input disturbances. Simulations
are carried out handling operational conditions close to those used
in a real plant.

Abstract:
In this paper an adaptive output feedback nonlinear control scheme
is presented for a pH process, which is difficult to control due to
the nonlinearities and uncertainties. A nonlinear controller is designed
using a backstepping technique to handle the pH process with an input
constraint. The backstepping-based controller is combined with state
and parameter estimators to deal with unmeasurable state variables
and unknown parameters, thereby resulting in an adaptive output feedback
nonlinear controller. The input constraint mentioned above is considered
in the controller and estimator designs. The stability properties of
the proposed scheme are given, and simulation results show that uniform
closed-loop performance is obtained despite the nonlinearity, the uncertainties
of the parameters, and the unavailability of the state variables.

Abstract:
This paper considers the problem of moving a container with liquid
without too much slosh in an industrial packaging machine. There is
no measurement of the slosh available in the machine to use for control,
it is however possible to measure the slosh in a testbed. The problem
is to determine the shape of the open loop acceleration reference that
is programmed in the motion control system that controls the movement
of the containers. In this paper the acceleration reference is calculated
using iterative learning control where the results of an experiment
are used to refine the acceleration reference to be used in the next
iteration.

Abstract:
This paper presents a practical application of the conventional multi-loop
control method for the temperature control of a television glass furnace.
To control the temperature of the TV glass furnace, major input-output
variables are selected, and simple First-Order-Plus-Dead-Time(FOPDT)models
are established with the process experimental data. Based on the FOPDT
models, a multi-loop control, which is a combination of cascade and
single loops, is used. Practical implementation using the Distributed
Control System (DCS) showed satisfactory results of the proposed control
algorithm for the 150-ton/day-production furnace.

Abstract:
Dual composition control of binary distillation columns is proposed
and solved based on observer design and an elementary state elimination
procedure. A particular observer allows us to recover the unmeasured
feed composition, which is used in the controller design in order to
maintain desired compositions. The method is an alternative against
the disturbance decoupling.
