To achieve quantitative agreement between model calculations and experiments an extended dynamic process model is proposed. In contrast to previous work by Dreyschultze et al. [1] specific plant characteristics are taken explicitly into account including a more detailed model of the milling process and a classifying particle withdrawal from the granulation chamber. The model is then used to develop new control strategies. First, a novel bed mass controller is designed and validated. Afterward, a second control loop is introduced to dampen the oscillatory behavior of the particle size distribution. It is shown that the new control concepts achieve stable steady-state operation within a short time and thereby improve the process dynamics significantly. Theoretical predictions and experimental results are shown to be in good agreement.en0032-59102019765778Elsevierhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Fluidized bed layeringContinuous operationStabilityControlIngenieurwissenschaftenJournal Articleurn:nbn:de:gbv:830-882.04387710.15480/882.233310.1016/j.powtec.2019.05.03010.15480/882.2333Other
