To optimize performance, a POS-PID controller with a split-range arrangement utilizing two control valves for hot and cold utilities was constructed. The study began by examining the open-loop dynamic response of the system to inlet temperature and concentration disturbances during ethanol production fermentation. Subsequently, a transfer function model was developed through linearization at the steady-state operating point. The split-range controller structure, implemented by optimizing the PSO-PID controller parameters using PSO, effectively demonstrated temperature control in simulations of a nonlinear model. In this investigation, the ethanol fermentation system was modeled as a CSTR using a modified Monod equation for microbial growth kinetics. Various dynamic behavioral disturbances were explored and verified in the model with plant data in this study. The simulation model results were validated through plant data.
