Chemical Process Control: An Introduction to Theory and Practice

A thorough overview of all aspects of chemical process control - process modeling, dynamic analyses of processing systems, a large variety of control schemes, synthesis of multivariable control configurations for single units and complete chemical plants, analysis and design of digital computer control systems.* emphasizes problem formulation, analysis of posed control problems, and the synthesis and evaluation of alternative control systems. * provides a complete understanding of control design and implementation rather than a mere list of mechanistic tools. * discusses both controller design concepts and hardware elements needed for practical implementation of various control schemes. * emphasizes controllers actions and their relative advantages and drawbacks.
