Abstract:
This contribution deals with the model-based detection of hazardous states in chemical reactors. The runaway criteria known from literature are either not applicable on-line or they are only applicable to simple kinetics or a certain type of reactor. An intrinsic on-line runaway criterion has been developed based on parametric sensitivity. The power of the new early warning systems is shown for the continuous oxidation of ethanol by hydrogen peroxide.
