This paper presents an estimation and control scheme for a class of industrial processes described by distributed parameter models with a moving radiant actuator. To overcome the lack of direct sensing alternatives for process state, a dual extended Kalman filter is established for estimating process status online based on a reduced process model and available output measurements. A distinct challenge that is addressed is the selection and construction of a suitable feedback signal from the distributed state estimate following the moving radiant actuator. The estimated status is then integrated into a rule-based feedback controller, which coordinates two manipulated variables of...</br>
