What is the best strategy to get the best rate of change in the PID for a manipulated variable, or is there a more elegant ...

Across industries such as food processing, pulp and paper, ceramics, engineered wood, biomass, and chemicals, manufacturers ...

Process control and simulation lie at the heart of modern industrial operations, enabling continuous monitoring, dynamic adjustment, and predictive optimisation of complex process systems.

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 ...

In this article, as in industry, advanced process control (APC) refers primarily to multi-variable control. Multivariable control means adjusting multiple single-loop controllers in unison, to meet ...

Only through proper troubleshooting and then solving the underlying problems can control loop performance be improved. Process design certainly plays a role in control loop performance, but experience ...

Technology progression within advanced process control (APC) continues to evolve; however, it is the relationship among core APC developments, enabling technologies, and management practices that is ...

Volumetric flow, flow velocity and temperature measurement – three of the most important variables which help to ensure efficient process control. So, wouldn’t it be convenient if you could measure ...
