Separation processes in agricultural machinery are typically non-linear, complex and uncertain. On-line measurements of input and output data are not available. Therefore, black-box modelling is not applicable and other techniques to describe the system must be used. In this paper, a dynamic...

Chromatographic separation processes are an emerging technology, especially in the field of fine chemicals and pharmaceutical products. As an alternative to conventional batch chromatography, the simulated moving bed (SMB) process gained more and more impact recently. Because of the complex...
