Description
The second volume in Chemical Engineering’s series on control and automation examines control systems at the plant level before moving on to discuss control strategies for particular process operations and plant variables.
This guidebook is devoted to understanding and choosing control equipment for specific operations and plant variables. Flow control based on control valves and variable-speed pumps, the automation of solids weighing processes, distillation, and control strategies based on real-time particle size measurements are covered.
Delivered in a PDF format, 74 pages.
