I. INTRODUCTION
Distillation is the most important industrial separation
technology. Considerable attention[10],[9]is devoted to
controlling distillation columns more effectively because:
o They are slow to respond to control action
o As much as 40 per cent of the energy consumed in a
plant is allocated to distillation.
Determining the number of stages required for the desired
degree of separation and the location of the feed tray is merely
the first steps in producing an overall distillation column design
and hence mathematical model. In practice there are several
factors that may affect the design specifications, and it can lead
to some deviations that let the column no longer able to handle
the separation task, that is the product purities which are the
desired outputs for the mathematical model used to define de
distillation column. From control point of view the deviations
in the outputs and be handled by the design of suitable
controllers; however the existing of interactions between the
loops will clearly show this deviation. Several methods are
used to assess the degree of interactions between the loops of
multivariable systems, which are considered in industrial fields
as multi-loop systems that is a set of SISO systems, the fact
that let getting information concerning the magnitude and the
direction of interactions is one of important issues that the
engineer should know before any attempt to choose the
required controller parameters, which lead to a minimum
energy consumption and desired product specification.
