This blog post discusses the integration of advanced data tools and techniques for precise control over chemical reactors like Continuous Stirred-Tank Reactors (CSTRs) in the chemical industry. It explores how to leverage InfluxDB, Kafka, Faust streaming, and Telegraf to effectively model and manage a CSTR and its PID controller (Proportional-Integral-Derivative Controller). The corresponding repository for this blog post can be found here. The project provides a digital twin of a CSTR that mimics executing a reaction under provided temperature setpoint conditions, producing data stored in InfluxDB and visualized using Grafana.
