A Proposed Control Strategy for Processing Industries in Ghana

Abstract

Industrial processes in Ghana are set of interrelated elements that act together to achieve desired values. These processes are nonlinear, mostly in liquid form in the continuous stirred tank reactor. Temperature and concentration are the common nonlinearities of these processes which pose serious control problems to these processes. According to experiments and theories, adaptive control mechanisms will solve the problems of these nonlinearities. Industrial practitioners must be encouraged to use adaptive control mechanisms and the gap between industry and academia must be close.

Keywords: Nonlinear, Temperature, Stirred-tank, Adaptive, Process.
