Plant wide optimization and integrated process plants are goals that            industry is planning to implement in the near future.  Optimal process          operation, which can decrease costs and increase yields, is                     potentially attainable with current computer technology.                                                                                                        In this project the PI plans to study on-line optimization and control          strategies for complex or integrated process units using dynamic                process models.  The use of dynamic process models ensures the                  utilization of current transient measurements as well as an optimum             path to the steady state optimum through the feasible region.  The              final product will be techniques to accommodate medium term                     disturbances that affect the process and the derivation of the                  necessary changes to the set points to keep the unit or plant at                optimum performance.                                                                                                                                            The specific approach to be used is to decompose the problem into two           phases: an identification phase (reconciliation of the process model            with all available process measurements of the recent past) and an              optimization phase (using the updated model to calculate the                    trajectory of manipulated inputs which will maximize the objective              function).
