A simple and efficient on-line scheme is developed to estimate temperature and compositions along a packed bed reactor in which styrene is being produced by the dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene. Slowly varying catalyst activity is also identified. The system is distributed in time and axial position

This article proposes a maximum likelihood algorithm for simultaneous estimation of state and parameter values in nonlinear stochastic state-space models. The proposed algorithm uses a combination of expectation maximization, nonlinear filtering and smoothing algorithms. The algorithm is tested with
## Abstract It is well known that the straight forward application of controller design methods to twoβtimeβscale systems is susceptible to numerical illβconditioning and stiffness problems. However, it has been demonstrated in this paper that the presence of timeβscales can be exploited for achiev
and time. A theoretical analysis yields that simplier control strategies, e.g. feedforward control, can be applied for without any loss of quality in the kinetic parameters provided that the catalyst deactivation is only of minor significance. A comparison of the kinetic parameters for the catalytic
