A medium‐scale reverse flow reactor for VOC combustion is considered. Heat loss and forced dilution by fresh air at the core of the reactor are accounted for. A countercurrent pseudohomogeneous model with frequency correction is proposed. This model is then used to synthesize an observer. This observer allows an on‐line inlet estimate of inlet VOC concentration, and of the temperature profiles in the monoliths. © 2004 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 50: 2155–2166, 2004
