Abstract
Concentrations measurements are typically corrupted by noise. Data reconciliation techniques improve the accuracy of measurements by using redundancies in the material and energy balances expressed as relationships between measurements. Since in the absence of kinetic models these relationships cannot integrate information regarding past measurements, they are expressed in the form of algebraic constraints. This paper shows that, even in the absence of a kinetic model, one can use shape constraints to relate measurements at different time instants, thereby improving the accuracy of reconciled estimates. The construction of shape constraints depends on the operating mode of the reactor. Moreover, it is shown that the representation of the reaction system in terms of vessel extents helps identify additional shape constraints. A procedure for deriving shape constraints from measurements is also described. Data reconciliation using both numbers of moles and extents is illustrated via a simulated case study. © 2017 Elsevier Ltd
