This paper presents the simplified mechanistic model of a Multiple Hearth Furnace (MHF), developed for process control implementation. The detailed mechanistic model of the MHF and its solving procedure are introduced. Based on the detailed model, the simplified model is developed in the nonlinear Hammerstein-Wiener form, which defines a specific type of nonlinear state space models suitable for example for Model Predictive Control (MPC) implementation. The simplified model aims to preserve the key physicalchemical phenomena taking place in the furnace and to reproduce the nonlinear dependencies between the input and output variables. Finally, the paper presents the simulation results to compare the mechanistic and the simplified models. The comparison confirms that the dynamics of the simplified model accurately follows the mechanistic model outputs. Introduction Furnaces, such as the rotary kilns and multiple hearth furnaces, are widely used in industry for the calcination of clay minerals, such as kaolin. However, these processes continue to provide challenges in maintaining efficient process operations. In particular, it is hard to control the final product quality, due to the difficulty in measuring the product characteristics, the solid temperature profile in the furnace, and the rates of the calcination reactions. Instead, the existing control systems mostly rely on the gas temperature measurements and traditional control implementations, such as PID. This strategy, however, does not allow achieving stable solid phase temperature profile and uniform product quality. In contrast, a Model Predictive Control (MPC), based on a model describing the physicalchemical phenomena in the furnace, would be able to stabilize the solid temperature and minimize the product quality variations. 1 Process Description This paper considers a multiple hearth furnace used for kaolin calcination, having the counter-current solid and gas flows. The furnace has eight hearths, and eight burners, combusting natural gas to provide the heat necessary for the calcination reactions, are located in hearths 4 and 6. The amount of air flow, supplied to the burners for the gas combustion, is calculated based on the stoichiometric ratio. The burners are placed with a tangential alignment. Kaolin is supplied to the first hearth located at the top of the furnace. In the calciner, the material is moved by the metal plates, called blades, which are attached to the rotating rabble arms, designed with the intention of transporting the material outwards on even-numbered hearths and inwards on odd-numbered hearths. The kaolin traversing the even numbered hearths moves outward to descend through the holes at the outside border of the hearth, while in the odd-numbered hearths kaolin falls to the next hearth through a single annulus located around the shaft carrying the rabble arms. The temperature of the solid increases as it travels down through the furnace and reaches its maximum in
