Tank volume V (k)Fig.4 <strong>and</strong> Fig.5, the tank volume V (k) <strong>and</strong> outlet product concentration C(k)arestrictly restricted in the predefined bounds. In addition, oscillations also occurin the controlled variables pr<strong>of</strong>iles, which means that the controller takes theadvantage <strong>of</strong> the freedom available to keep the control action as flat as possible.The feasibility analysis <strong>of</strong> production concentration chance constraint is alsoperformed <strong>and</strong> the maximum reachable possibility <strong>of</strong> P{C min ≤ C(k + i|k) ≤C max } in each interval is depicted in Fig.6. It can be seen that the maximumreachable probabilities are all greater than the predefined value (α 2 =0.90), whichimplies that the corresponding CNMPC problem is feasible. Note that at the 4 th<strong>and</strong> 13 th minute when the concentration approaches its limits, the maximumprobability reaches its minimum value.
