The chemical and refinery industries have been practicing optimization and control for at least half a century as an ultimate approach to improving operational efficiency. In this seminar we will discuss control and optimization problems formulated in these industrial problems. A review of current theory and practice will be covered briefly. The problem of constrained optimal control is formulated and solved with analytical solutions of the multi-parametric optimization.
