The book focuses on process control in the petroleum and refinery industries, with an emphasis on problem solving. The author explores various real life examples and relays the lessons learned from his career in this area. He explains many new yet straightforward concepts without the use of complex mathematics. This handy go-to emphasizes single and well-established process engineering principles that will help working engineers and operators switch manual control loops to automatic control.
Norman P. Lieberman is an independent process design engineer and field troubleshooter. His clients include refineries and petrochemical plants. Mr. Lieberman is well known and respected in the process industry for his seminar "Troubleshooting Process Operations," which he has presented to more than 12,000 engineers and plant operators.
