Abstract

The emulation and real-time simulation in the teaching and learning processes or the development of process control research, allows controlled experimentation without having the real system. This paper shows the emulation of one of the most significant operations in chemical plant operations: distillation columns. The emulator development is performed on the columns model in an application platform based on real-time Linux composed of RTAI, RTAI-Lab, and RTAI-XML projects. In response, emulation product composition under disturbances in the supply is obtained. Emulation results are compared with the simulation results obtained in MATLAB and show that the response of change composition inputs or the perturbation changes are close to the response obtained with MATLAB simulation
