Abstract: The temperature control in chemical reactors has been shown to be of fundamental importance from product quality and process reproducibility points of view. This paper presents an experimental evaluation of multimodel approach involving a batch chemical reactor pilot. Two design features are worth to be mentioned. Firstly, an appropriate system identification approach is used to elaborate a family of control models describing the input-output behaviour of the reactor over its full operating range. Secondly, the control design is performed using a suitable fusion of robust model reference controllers. The underlying model reference control is particularly motivated by the required tracking performances.
