On April 11, we organized a scientific seminar on “Modelling and parameter identification of industrial reactors – polymerisation of propylene“. Jozef Vargan, a PhD student at the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava, led the seminar, which was organized in the framework of the FrontSeat project as part of the seminar series on “Research Seminar on Smart Cybernetics.”
Abstract:
Polypropylene is one of the most widely produced synthetic polymer products in the world, accounting for up to 25 percent of all polymerized plastics. Considering its general applications, the first part of this seminar will focus on different approaches to modeling polypropylene polymerization reactors, including the implementation of a series of kinetic models and their simplification. The properties of the synthesized polymer will be presented, as analysis of which is essential for optimal control of the desired product quality. The second part will focus on identifying kinetic polymerization model parameters, including parameter sensitivity analysis using both local and global methods.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon under grant no. 101079342 (Fostering Opportunities Towards Slovak Excellence in Advanced Control for Smart Industries).
