Process Control

Process Control: Bridging the Gap Between Science and Industry examines control engineering challenges in chemical engineering through the lens of academic researchers, plant engineers, and control system vendors. Each contributor shares valuable insights into their experiences, addressing real-world problems and innovative solutions that shape industrial practice. Covering a wide array of topics--from PID tuning and hybrid control strategies to alarm management and advanced ratio control--this book equips readers with a comprehensive understanding of both theoretical and practical aspects of control engineering. The contents explore areas such as feedforward control, multi-loop systems, and energy production optimization. With contributions that tackle contemporary issues like event-based PID control and the influence of models on control quality, this book serves as an essential resource for bridging the gap between academic research and industrial application. Process Control: Bridging the Gap Between Science and Industry is a must-read for young academic scientists eager to grasp the industrial challenges they will face, as well as for plant engineers seeking to leverage the latest academic research in their work. Control systems vendors will gain insights into strategies for minimizing the science-industry gap, while students will discover what knowledge and skills are essential for navigating their future careers in the industry. By fostering collaboration among these diverse groups, the book aims to inspire innovative solutions that can be effectively implemented in real-world settings.
