Several key components make up an advanced control system in catalysis:
- Process Analytical Technology (PAT): Tools and systems used to design, analyze, and control manufacturing processes through timely measurements. - Model Predictive Control (MPC): An advanced method of process control that uses a model to predict future outcomes and optimize control moves. - Artificial Intelligence (AI): Machine learning and other AI techniques can be used to develop predictive models and optimize catalytic processes. - Distributed Control Systems (DCS): A control system where control elements are distributed throughout the system rather than being centralized.
