The main goal of this paper is to present the effect of using reflux to feed ratio as an independent variable in designing a Model-Base Inferential IQ to predict the i-C4 percentage in the top of a DE-Propaniser tower. The addition of this variable is a modification of an existing inferential IQ model with a design, which only uses the De-Propaniser tower top temperature and pressure as independent variables, and has resulted in significant improvements in the prediction of i-C4 percentage, operation and economics of the tower operation.
