The VAC monomer process is large enough to be representative in its essential features of many chemical processes. The model is large and, in parts, highly nonlinear. The process model contains 246 states, 26 manipulated variables, and 43 measurements.

The model equations have been coded in the C programming language. The C-coded files have been written in such a way that they can be compiled into "MEX functions". As a result, the C-coded model becomes available from within the MATLAB environment. Can be used as a test bed for advanced control approaches, such as plantwide control design and optimization, model predictive control, and process monitoring (Ind. Eng. Chem. Res., 42 (20), 4478 -4487, 2003).
