Short Description
The trends toward more efficient industrial automation techniques for chemical manufacturing plants poses a challenge for today's chemical and electrical engineers who must now deal with process control engineering. This volume helps engineers rise to the challenge, imparting the know-how necessary to set up automated systems for the control of manufacturing in chemical plants. Timely, comprehensive, and practical, Plant-Wide Process Control covers all the steps involved-concept, design, simulation, testing, implementation, and operation.
The complete control system engineering solution for continuous and batch manufacturing plants.
This book presents a complete methodology of control system design for continuous and batch manufacturing in such diverse areas as pulp and paper, petrochemical, chemical, food, pharmaceutical, and biochemical production. Geared to practicing engineers faced with designing increasingly more sophisticated control systems in response to present-day economic and regulatory pressures, Plantwide Process Control focuses on the engineering portion of a plant automation improvement project. It features a full control design information package (Control Requirements Definition or CRD), and guides readers through all steps of the automation process-from the initial concept to design, simulation, testing, implementation, and operation. This unique and practical resource:
* Integrates continuous, batch, and discrete control techniques.
* Shows how to use the methodology with any automation project-existing or new, simple or complex, large or small.
* Relates recent ISO and ISA standards to the discipline of control engineering.
* Illustrates the methodology with a pulp-and-paper mill case study.
* Incorporates numerous other examples, from single-loop controllers to multivariable controllers.
