degrees of freedom analysis and transient analysis are carried out. A PID control model is proposed. The results show that ITCDIC is a self-regulating process
and could be operated smoothly with two PID controllers; the steady state design could be disassociate with the dynamic design. An optimization model of ITCDIC design parameters is derived
which can directly achieve the optimal design parameters providing the maximum energy savings and the product quality simultaneously. Benzene-toluene system is studied as an illustrative example.
