The aim is to operate the column with the required top composition. From the control strategy, block diagram is constructed and the transfer functions are identified. From this block diagram the overall transfer function is calculated and the characteristic equation is obtained for closed loop [1]. The characteristic equation is then used for stability analysis, tuning, offset investigation and response simulation [2].enStabilitycharacteristic equationultimate gainultimate periodsimulationArticle
