Adaptive model predictive control is applied to control of consistency. The process model used for the control is updated on the basis of the operation conditions. The process gain is calculated by the mass balance equations or by using the preceding consistency measurement. The process dynamics is determined on the basis of the scheduling variable i.e. the flow rate. The performance of the proposed consistency control strategy is studied by simulating and the simulation results are compared with the results of the present control strategy.
