Abstract: ARX models, is a suitable model for linear control implementations. The parameter estimation problem is convex and easily handed for both SISO and MIMO system. This paper deals with a novel formulation of ARX Model –Predictive control for the pH Process in a Continuous Stirrer Tank Reactor(CSTR).An illustrative simulation is conducted to compare the proposed model based controller with the conventional Proportional – Integral –Derivative(PID) controller for the pH purification process. The simulation results confirm that MPC is one of the best possibilities for successful control for pH process.
