Despite the advancements, reactor feed control poses several challenges:
Dynamic Feed Variations: Fluctuations in feed composition and flow rates can occur due to upstream processes, requiring dynamic adjustments. Sensor Accuracy: The accuracy and reliability of sensors used for monitoring feed properties are critical for effective control. Calibration and maintenance are ongoing challenges. Complexity of Control Systems: Integrating various control elements into a coherent system can be complex, requiring sophisticated control algorithms and software. Economic Factors: The cost of implementing advanced control systems can be high, necessitating a balance between performance and expenditure.
