Short description Offering the most practical applied treatment in the market, this book provides readers with the necessary theory for the successful practice of automatic process control. Both introductory and advanced control strategies are presented. The authors then clearly show how to apply the information in the field. The new third edition also includes clear descriptions of process characteristics, modeling, instrumentation and control valves combined with numerous industrial examples.
