Process Control: Engineering Analyses and Best Practices (Advances in Industrial Control)
by Steve S. Niu Deyun XiaoProcess Control details the core knowledge and practical skills that a successful process control practitioner needs. It explains the essential technologies that are in use in current industrial practice or which may be wanting for the future. The book focuses on practical considerations, not only on those that make a control solution work, but also on those that prevent it from failing, especially for complex control loops and plant-wide control solutions.After discussing the indispensable role of control in modern process industries, the authors concentrate on the skills required for process analysis, control design, and troubleshooting. One of the first books to provide a systematic approach and structured methodology for process analysis and control design, Process Control illustrates that methodology with many practical examples that cover process control, equipment control, and control calculations derived from real projects and applications. The book uses 229 drawings and 83 tables to make the concepts it presents more intuitive and its methodology easy to follow.Process Control will help the practising control engineer to benefit from a wealth of practical experience and good ideas on how to make control work in the real world and students training to take up roles in process control are shown the applied relevance of control theory in the efficient functioning of industrial plant and the considerations needed to make it work.Advances in Industrial Control reports and encourages the transfer of technology in control engineering. The rapid development of control technology has an impact on all areas of the control discipline. The series offers an opportunity for researchers to present an extended exposition of new work in all aspects of industrial control.

Process Engineering Renewal 2: Research
by Eric Schaer Jean-Claude AndreThe chemical processes initially consisted of non-scientific extrapolation methods from the "laboratory". Coming from the oil industry, chemical engineering, now process engineering (material and energy transformation) has introduced scientific rationality in the development of more optimal processes both in financial terms and saving material and energy. At the end of the twentieth century, heavy trends force us to modify our ways of doing matter and/or energies: depletion of reserves, pollution, globalization, artificial intelligence, public perception of risks, etc. Commodities continue to be produced locally while higher value-added products can come from many countries around the world. These external pressures on training and research in the field require major breaks that are the subject of the book.

Process Engineering and Industrial Management
by Jean-Pierre Dal PontProcess Engineering, the science and art of transforming raw materials and energy into a vast array of commercial materials, was conceived at the end of the 19th Century. Its history in the role of the Process Industries has been quite honorable, and techniques and products have contributed to improve health, welfare and quality of life. Today, industrial enterprises, which are still a major source of wealth, have to deal with new challenges in a global world. They need to reconsider their strategy taking into account environmental constraints, social requirements, profit, competition, and resource depletion."Systems thinking" is a prerequisite from process development at the lab level to good project management. New manufacturing concepts have to be considered, taking into account LCA, supply chain management, recycling, plant flexibility, continuous development, process intensification and innovation.This book combines experience from academia and industry in the field of industrialization, i.e. in all processes involved in the conversion of research into successful operations. Enterprises are facing major challenges in a world of fierce competition and globalization. Process engineering techniques provide Process Industries with the necessary tools to cope with these issues. The chapters of this book give a new approach to the management of technology, projects and manufacturing.ContentsPart 1: The Company as of Today1.
