Practical Process Control

This book introduces process control to engineers and technicians unfamiliar with control techniques, providing an understanding of how to actually apply control in a real industrial environment. It avoids analytical treatment of the numerous statistical process control techniques to concentrate on the practical problems involved. A practical approach is taken, making it relevant in virtually all manufacturing and process industries. There is currently no information readily available to practicing engineers or students that discusses the real problems and such material is long overdue.

"This text provides a comprehensive guide to the numerous different types of control equipment available to engineers and technicians involved in the control of any manufacturing process." "The information is kept general, applicable to most processes requiring varying degrees of control, to identify what specific information is required by suppliers and the most suitable equipment for the application in hand. A degree of troubleshooting is included, as well as equipment specification, system specification and design, through installation, to commissioning and running plant tuning. In many sections there are guidelines on how to install process control equipment, especially measurement devices. To help overcome many of the problems generated by poor installations a few examples of how not to install are also included."--Jacket Practical Process Control introduces process control to engineers and technicians unfamiliar with control techniques, providing an understanding of how to actually apply control in a real industrial environment.
