Abstract: For complex chemical processes, process optimization is usually performed on causalmodels fromfirst principle models. When the mechanism models cannot be obtained easily, restricted model built by process data is used for dynamic process optimization. A new strategy is proposed for complex process optimization, in which latent variables are used as decision variables and statistics is used to describe constraints. As the constraint condition will be more complex by projecting the original variable to latent space, Hotelling T2 statistics is introduced for constraint formulation in latent space. In this way, the constraint is simplified when the optimization is solved in low-dimensional space of latent variable. The validity of the methodology is illustrated in pH-level optimal control process and practical polypropylene grade transition process.
