Summary, in English

During spring 1998 the course Industrial Case Studies in Control was given at the Department of Automatic Control in Lund. The course consisted of a project at an industry with control applications. This report considers a project at the crude alcohol distillery in Nöbbelöv, where the base product for the liquor Absolut Vodka is produced. The distillery had problems with fluctuations in the concentration of ethanol in the crude alcohol. The purpose of the project was to analyze the cause of the fluctuations, and if possibly eliminate it. The fluctuations were cause by an output limiter on a controller, and were relatively easily eliminated. To examine if control performance could be further improved, a series of experiments was carried out on the plant. The result of the experiments were then used to derive a simple process model, and a suggestion for new controller parameters.
