The process control and instrumentation minor emphasizes developing skills and knowledge in theory, software and in the field. Students graduate ready to solve complex control problems in the chemical ...

I recently surveyed the on-site development of the control system for a large concentrated solar power station. This “first of a kind” facility offered many control challenges, such as balancing heat ...

Process Engineering encompasses the analysis, modeling, simulation, optimization, design, control and operation of process systems, from micro-sized systems to huge industrial facilities. Many ...

ISA recently published the third edition of Basic and Advanced Regulatory Control: System Design and Application by Harold L. Wade, Ph.D., PE. In this Q&A feature, Dr. Wade highlights the focus, ...

I.1 Process monitoring and optimization: Lead daily technical stewardship of assigned units (e.g., crude/vacuum, hydrotreating, reforming, FCC, hydrocracking, sulfur ...

Control engineering is the discipline that concerns the analysis, design and implementation of mechanisms that force dynamical systems to behave in prescribed ways despite uncertainties, disturbances ...
