Advanced Chemical Process Control: Putting Theory into Practice

Bridge the gap between theory and practice with this accessible guide

Process  control is an area of study which seeks to optimize industrial  processes, applying different strategies and technologies as required to  navigate the variety of processes and their many potential challenges.  Though the body of chemical process control theory is robust, it is only  in recent decades that it has been effectively integrated with  industrial practice to form a flexible toolkit. The need for a guide to  this integration of theory and practice has therefore never been more  urgent.

Advanced Chemical Process Control meets this need,  making advanced chemical process control accessible and useful to  chemical engineers with little grounding in the theoretical principles  of the subject. It provides a basic introduction to the background and  mathematics of control theory, before turning to the implementation of  control principles in industrial contexts. The result is a bridge  between the insights of control theory and the needs of engineers in  plants, factories, research facilities, and beyond.
