Process Control 1

This document provides an overview of process control for a lecture. It lists course references and objectives, which include explaining control strategies and feedback loops. It introduces process control systems and their importance in manufacturing. Examples of process control applications in refining, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and food processing plants are given. Career options in the field are also outlined. Finally, reasons for process control systems are discussed, such as safety, production specifications, operational constraints, environmental regulations, economics, and monitoring.

Introduction

What is process control


system ??

Introduction

 The word “system” has become very popular


in recent years
 A system is defined as a combination of
components that act together to perform a
certain objective.

 Control system: An interconnection of


components forming a system configuration
that will provide a desired response.

 Process refers to the methods of changing or


refining raw materials to create end products.

 Control system is very important for all engineers.

 Control is an important element in manufacturing and industry.

 Automatic control has become important and integral part of modern


manufacturing and industrial process.

 Most engineers and scientists must now have a good understanding


of this field.

8
Process Control
 Process control is regulation of a controlled variable
around a desired set point.

 Process plants can be operated in either continuous


or batch.

 Process control system deal with all phases of matter


- solid, liquid and vapour.
