The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

The paper describes statistical process control tools that have been applied for the online monitoring of an industrial fed-batch sugar crystallisation process. The process is characterised by distinct operating phases during operation and the presence of strong non-linear, dynamic relationships between the variables. Process performance is controlled manually by operators based on their experience. The success of each batch is determined at the end of the batch run through off-line crystal size distribution measurements. The development and application of a monitoring tool based on the online frequent process measurements could be of significant benefit, since it could realise early detection of operational changes, process faults and hence a reduction in the number of off-specification batches. © 2004 Elsevier B.V.
