Control and tuning of pulsed flow for prototype CIP (clean in place)

This work aims to model the dynamic behavior of the flow of a CIP (clean in place) system, as well as design PID controllers using classical methods. In addition, to evaluate the performance and effectiveness offered by each control system, making necessary adjustment through fine tuning. For the accomplishment of this work a prototype of CIP system of stainless steel was typically used in the industry. The results showed the adjustment of the model, the relevance of the classical methods studied for the design of controllers, the estimation of the parameters and the importance of the fine tuning for good performance of the control mesh.
