The control scheme at the absorption column uses a flow fraction controller to monitor the flow rates of the vapor feed and water feed entering the column. A pressure controller regulates the vapor outlet pressure and a level controller monitors the liquid level to prevent overflow. The heat exchanger control scheme employs a feedback system where the outlet temperature reading is sent to a temperature controller managing the cold water intake. A control valve also regulates the pressure at the valve.

Control scheme at absorption column
The main objective of the control process of absorber column is to remove the butenes from the methanol. The flow of water will be controlled in desired ratio to scrub the methanol in order to ensure a complete recovery of methanol.
Flow Fraction controller
The reading of flow rates of the vapor feed and water feed is directly sent to the flow fraction controller to control the flow rate entering the absorption column. Therefore, the feedforward scheme is used.
Pressure controller
The pressure of vapor outlet will be controlled in order to maintain the required pressure that exit the absorption column.
Level controller
The liquid level of the absorption column will be monitored to ensure that the liquid does not overflow. A signal is sent to the level controller when the liquid reached a critical level.
Control scheme at heat exchanger
Feedbackward system is used to control the temperature of heat exchanger. The outlet temperature will send the reading to the temperature controller which controls the amount of cold water entering the heat exchanger.
Control scheme at Valve
A control valve is used to control the pressure of valve.
