Optimization of control performance on CO

A model predictive control (MPC) is used to optimize the control performance on CO2 removal in Subang Field. MPC is implemented to control the feed gas pressure (PIC-1101), amine flow rate (FIC-1102), and makeup water flowrate (FIC-1103) to maintain CO2 concentration in sweet gas. MPC is built using the first-order plus dead time (FOPDT) models. The control performance tests are used set point (SP) tracking and disturbance rejection with the performance indicator is the integral of square error (ISE). The result show that the optimum setting of prediction horizon (P), horizon (M) and Time Sampling (T) in MPC are 9 1, 32 and 1 on PIC-1101; 34, 10 and 5 on FIC-1102 and 40, 10 and 5 on FIC-1103. Based on ISE values, the use of MPC can improve performance for set point tracking by 14.02% in PIC-1101, 76.74% in FIC-1102, and 16.31% in FIC-1103, the use of MPC can improve performance for disturbance rejection by 19.32% in FIC-1102, and 91.57% in FIC-1103, compared with the proportional-integral (PI) controller that used in the field
