A Real-Time Approach to Process Control

Autor William Y. Svrcek, Donald P. Mahoney, Brent R. Young
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 ian 2014

With resources at a premium, and ecological concerns paramount, the need for clean, efficient and low-cost processes is one of the most critical challenges facing chemical engineers. The ability to control these processes, optimizing one, two or several variables has the potential to make more substantial savings in time, money and resources than any other single factor.

Building on the success of the previous editions, this new third edition of A Real-Time Approach to Process Control employs both real industry practice and process control education without the use of complex or highly mathematical techniques, providing a more practical and applied approach.

Updated throughout, this edition:

¿ Includes a brand new chapter on Model predictive Control (MPC)

¿ Now includes wireless and web-based technologies

¿ Covers bio-related systems

¿ Details the new multivariable control measure developed by the authors

¿ Includes PowerPoint slides and solutions to Workshop problems on the accompanying website: http://www.wiley.com/go/svrcek-real-time-3e

From the reviews of previous editions:

"Would appeal to practising engineers due to its "hands on" feel for the subject matter. But more importantly, the authors present these concepts as fundamentals of chemical engineering, in a way that is consistent with how professor teach at the universities." -Chemical Engineering Process (CEP)

"The book has been beautifully crafted" -Engineering Subject Centre

"Provides a refreshing approach to the presentation of process analysis and control" -The Chemical Engineer

Descriere

This third edition presents a theoretical and practical introduction to this increasingly important approach to process control. Assuming no prior knowledge, the text covers the applied fundamentals of process control, from instrumentation to process dynamics, PID loops, and tuning to distillation, multi-loop, and plant-wide control.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

Throughout the chemical industry, ever more emphasis is being placed upon extracting increasingly greater value from existing plant equipment. Improved process control is almost unique in its ability to deliver substantial operational improvements with little, or no additional, capital investment. As such, process control has rapidly become one of the most important and sought-after skills within the chemical industry. The industry needs graduates educated and trained in the latest and most relevant skills, as its practitioners rely heavily on commercially available process simulation tools and hands-on, time-based control strategy development techniques. A Real-Time Approach to Process Control brings together introductory process control education and real industry practice. While avoiding the use of complex and highly mathematical techniques, this text focuses instead on the more practical and applied time-domain techniques derived from modern process simulation. Assuming no prior knowledge of process control, this text provides both a theoretical and practical introduction to this increasingly important area. The use of computers in process control is a central theme running throughout this text, and their use in simulations and the software is carefully introduced. The reader will gain a thorough understanding of instrumentation, process design versus controllability trade-offs, control loop configurations and tuning, and practical techniques for the control of vessels, distillation columns and basic plant-wide control considerations. A Real-Time Approach to Process Control:
* Is an applied introduction to the theory and practice of modern process control.
* Avoids the use of complex mathematics, focusing instead on real-time systems.
* Introduces dynamic simulation software and enables the reader to understand how and why it is used.
* Includes many examples and carefully designed workshops, providing hands-on experience.
* Has its own Web site at http: //www.ench.ucalgary.ca/ real-time.
This essential introduction to modern process control is suitable for students taking process control courses, as well as engineers interested in learning more about real-time systems and applications of dynamic simulation software.
