<p>The first book to offer a practical, plantwide approach to designing effective controls for continuous chemical and petroleum processes Process control lore includes tales of multi-million dollar plants that never operated. Though individual controls were well designed, they simply did not work together. This book the first to offer a practical, plantwide approach to preventing such catastrophes. Written by three respected experts and verified in real-life implementations, this book helps you develop effective basic regulator control systems for plants on the drawing board, being revamped, or in full operation. Four realistic case studies (Tennessee-Eastman, isomerization, vinyl acetate, and HDA processes) contribute to making this guide a process control classic.</p>

McGraw=Hill

<p>A textbook for a one-semester course for juniors or seniors in chemical engineering, presenting the fundamental concepts and practical tools for process control needed by chemical engineers in any specialty. Minimizes the mathematics in favor of examples that illustrate principles and concepts. Uses FORTRAN for simulations and MATLAB for plotting and analysis. Unusual for introductions, discusses the interaction between steady-state design and control, and plant-wide control with an emphasis on selecting control structures for an entire multi-unit process.

Essentials of Process Control

Mcgraw-Hill College

Combining their extensive knowledge of process control, the team of William Luyben and Michael Luyben has developed a book that thoroughly covers the area of process control. With concise coverage that is easily readable and condensed to only essential elements, Essentials of Process Control presents the areas of process control that all chemical engineers need to know. The book's practical engineering orientation offers many real industrial control examples and problems. The authors present the practical aspects of process control such as sizing control valves, tuning controllers, and developing control structures. Readers will find helpful features of the book to include practical identification methods, which allow them to obtain information to tune controllers more quickly. In addition, the book discusses plantwide control and the interactions between steady-state design and dynamic controllability.
