Introduction • Most chemical processes are multivariable and have strong nonlinear dynamics. • Linear models and conventional controllers are not sufficient to handle these processes. • This creates challenges in developing nonlinear multi input multi output (MIMO) models and advance control strategies. • Background and motivation for research • Process dynamics change over time, equipment degrade and valves do wear out. • Original mathematical models tend to mismatch with the real plant. • Models are limited to small range of operations.

Conclusion • The proposed wavelet neural network (WNN) NMPC strategy is more efficient than ANN in MIMO case. • Real time optimisation (RTO) of the controller actions is achieved using GA. • Future works will check the robustness of this approach for abnormal conditions of plants dynamic.
