Practical Process Control Design with Industrial Applications presents process control essentials and control strategy design fundamentals for modern-day DCS work environments. It uses a unique instructional approach—a process analysis and process understanding framework that enables readers to better understand and more effectively use process control fundamentals. Process analysis, operating objectives, and business drivers guide the identification of control objectives and facilitate control strategy designs of realistic control applications for real-world unit operations.
Filling a gap in the literature, coverage includes:
Merging process analysis, process understanding, and real-world plant operations with process control essentials and design fundamentals
Detailed discussion of real-world design issues and realistic process-specific control strategies
Methods used to ensure acceptable control performance continues when various “what if” issues arise
How process control design fundamentals are applied in important unit-specific control strategies
How best to apply specific control attributes (control direction), control options (PID proportional action), standard DCS functionality (algorithms and/or function blocks), and corporate or site standards (input signal validation) to develop control strategies that achieve control objectives with acceptable control performance.
Practical Process Control Design with Industrial Applications is an essential reference for control engineers and process engineers who support process control activities in an operating plant, DCS vendor control application specialists, and EPC company project engineers who support process control activities in capital projects.
Alan M. Kugelman, PhD, has more than 40 years’ experience in process control application design and implementation in capital projects, DCS migration projects and DCS modernization projects. Working for ExxonMobil Research and Engineering Company (Florham Park, NJ, later in Fairfax, Va.), he developed his process control applications design and implementation expertise during three onsite assignments at ExxonMobil sites in Europe and Japan. He then supported ExxonMobil control applications activities, in both refineries and chemical plants worldwide, from central engineering offices in Brussels, Florham Park, and Fairfax. He developed, and taught company-administered control application training courses to site control engineers worldwide.
