title = "Performance Evaluation of a De-oiling Process Controlled by PID, H ∞and MPC",
abstract = "Three different control solutions, named PID, H ∞ and MPC, are proposed and compared for a de-oiling water treatment process used in offshore oil and gas production. All control solutions are designed using the plant-wide control strategy, i.e., the considered process consists of the upstream three-phase separator(s) and the downstream de-oiling hydorcyclone(s), such that their dynamic coupling is systematically coped with. The system performances are evaluated according to the conventional control criteria as well as the emerging online Oil-in-Water (OiW) measurement. The experimental results based on a lab-scaled pilot plant illustrate the huge potential and benefit of advanced control solutions to significantly improve the effluent water quality without sacrificing the system{\textquoteright}s throughput, particularly when the process is subject to large disturbances (e.g., slugging inflow).",
