The reactive dividing‐wall column (RDWC) presents a highly integrated process that enables significant reductions in investment costs and energy consumption. However, the high degree of integration of this apparatus causes numerous interactions between kinetics, vapor‐liquid equilibrium, and mass transfer. To ensure a reliable operation of the RDWC, suitable control schemes need to be developed and experimentally validated. A decentralized control scheme for the RDWC is presented and for the first time experimentally investigated on an RDWC pilot plant. A comparison of experimental and simulated data is carried out and shows good agreement.

反应式分隔壁塔分散过程控制的实验研究

反应性分隔壁塔（RDWC）具有高度集成的过程，可显着降低投资成本和能耗。但是，这种设备的高度集成导致动力学，气液平衡和传质之间发生许多相互作用。为了确保RDWC的可靠运行，需要开发适当的控制方案并进行实验验证。提出了RDWC的分散控制方案，并首次在RDWC中试工厂进行了实验研究。对实验数据和模拟数据进行了比较，并显示出良好的一致性。
