This paper presents the design of a robust control system for a
high-purity distillation column. It is concerned with the design of a two
degree-of-freedom (2DOF) product-composition controller for a
high-purity distillation column. The H∞ optimization problem is set up to
ensure a guaranteed level of robust stability, robust disturbance attenuation
and robust reference tracking performance.
