An overview of studies on mechanistic model-based control of biodiesel production process is presented and discussed, focusing on control strategies including, among others, plantwide control, model predictive control, and optimal control. The paper highlights past studies that used advanced control strategies to improve the economic performance of biodiesel production. Based on the outcome of the literature review, there are limited applications of advanced control strategies in the biodiesel production process, especially within the plantwide control (PWC) framework. Only a few studies addressed the optimization and control of the biodiesel process beyond the transesterification reactor. Decentralized plantwide control architecture using a heuristic-based method with simulations in Aspen Plus Dynamic is currently employed to demonstrate how to facilitate and enhance the process performance of biofuel production. The review shows a need for a simple, effective, and easily implementable plantwide design control capable of achieving optimal profitability, controllability, and safety.
