Abstract


The control of pH is important in the chemical industry, poses a difficult problem because of inherent nonlinearities and frequently changing process dynamics. The work described in this paper aims at exploring a technique for producing adaptive fuzzy logic controller (FLC), in which a genetic (GA) is employed to alter membership functions. GA is an adaptive search technique based on natural selection and genetics rules. An adaptive GA-FLC scheme is presented for  control of the pH process, the objective is to drive the pH of the solution  to the desired set point in the shortest time  by adjusting the valves on the two control input streams.
