Just over a decade ago, an article titled, "Advanced Control Strategies Move into the Field" (Control, October 2008), highlighted three evolving trends in the process control world that would "make ...

Power plants–especially coal-fired boilers–pose a set of process control problems unparalleled in other industries. Rapid load ramps, continuous unit demand changes, variable fuel quality and process ...

Learning the basics can ease loop tuning frustration and ensure stability. During plant operations, it seems that tuning control loops is an ongoing task, which can be a continual frustration to ...

Success is less about memorizing formulas and more about understanding process behavior, valves, operators and controller ...

In process flow control, there are many factors affecting variability, but the greatest contributor is the control valve’s performance. Issues associated with control valves, such as dead band, ...

The CS Series of process-control modules provides PID loop control of any process without using a PLC. Modules offer control of temperature, flow, and pressure. Single and dualloop temperature modules ...

The tuning of proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control loops was an important change at HollyFrontier’s Navajo Refinery in Artesia, N.M. Its hands-on, “mandraulic” culture was no longer cutting ...

(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) The Process Instrumentation & Control Methods course offers a comprehensive training program designed to enhance knowledge in process measurement, fluid dynamics, and ...

A variety of modules are offered that allow control of temperature, flow, and pressure; the single- and dual-loop temperature modules also provide ramp-and-soak controls. Up to 16 of these modules can ...
