Abstract:Controlling batch polymerization is challenging because the absence of a steady operating point prevents standard linearization; the dynamics are intrinsically nonlinear; and multi-phase operation induces state-triggered switching. This study systematically combines four established real-time NMPC ingredients, smooth mode blending, advanced-step warm starts, variable scaling, and a capped iteration budget, to attain real-time feasibility without ad hoc switching heuristics. We provide practice-oriented guidance for selecting smoothing gains and locating switching surfaces, and we make explicit the approximations introduced by smoothing such that, with appropriate tuning, the smoothed and original switching logic are numerically indistinguishable at solver-tolerance levels. All results are obtained in closed-loop simulation using an industrial gas-liquid polymerization benchmark with estimator-in-the-loop, compared against PID and conventional NMPC baselines. Results show improved constraint satisfaction and shorter batch duration under bounded computation, while an ablation study quantifies the specific contributions of each component individually
