Chem Eng Process Control Intro

This document provides an outline for the CHE334 Instrumentation and Process Control unit. It introduces the topics that will be covered, which include fundamentals of instrumentation, basic control theory, and common measurement techniques. Assessment will include two sessional tests, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. Chapter 1 will introduce process control, instrumentation, basic concepts like systems and control loops, and components of measurement and control systems. The goal of process control is to safely and satisfactorily operate chemical processes through automation. Controllers are used to suppress external disturbances and ensure safety while optimizing performance and reducing variability.

Process Control
Control in process industries refers to the
regulation of all aspects of the process
involved. in chemical industry.

Process
Process as used in the terms process control
and process industry, refers to the methods of
changing or refining raw materials to create
end products.

10

Process Control
Process control refers to the methods that are
used to control process variables when
manufacturing a product.

11

Goal of Process Control


Process engineers are often responsible for the
safe and satisfactory operation of chemical
processes. As these processes become larger scale
and/or more complex, the role of process
automation becomes more and more important.

Goal :
To learn how to develop, design and
tune controllers for the automated
operation of chemical processes.
