A method is disclosed for optimization of continuous digestion process. Exemplary embodiments can control a delignification process in a continuous pulp digester in an optimal way for different pulp grades taking into account process disturbances and model uncertainties. This can be achieved by customizing a generic mathematical model for a continuous digestion process which runs through a software application on a dedicated electronic device. The model can be updated periodically based on on-line information, and used with a plant optimization component involving multi-objective optimization to evaluate optimal set points for the controllers. A system is also disclosed for optimizing control of a continuous pulp digester.
