Identification and Control of a Foam Process

Abstract

In this master thesis, the problem of identification and control of a foam process in a waste treatment plant will be address. Using real data, an experimental model relating the anti-foam product injected using a pump and the measure of foam level measured used computer vision will be developed using identification techniques. Once the model have been obtained, a control law that aims at minimizing the foam level will be developed. The control system will be tested and implemented in a real waste treatment plant.
