A thorough overview of all aspects of chemical process control - process modeling, dynamic analyses of processing systems, a large variety of control schemes, synthesis of multivariable control configurations for single units and complete chemical plants, analysis and design of digital computer control systems. Salient Features Emphasizes problem formulation, analysis of posed control problems, and the synthesis and evaluation of alternative control systems. Provides a complete understanding of control design and implementation rather than a mere list of mechanistic tools. Discusses both controller design concepts and hardware elements needed for practical implementation of various control schemes. Emphasizes controllers' actions and their relative advantages and drawbacks.
