Foundation fieldbus selected for major projects
Here’s why Shell and Conoco are committed to the technology
Foundation fieldbus – open, integrated fieldbus architecture
Here’s how the technology helps support plant optimization
Consider process control a specialty within chemical engineering – Part 1
Incorporating more process reactions in the unit's P&I, engineers will be able to design better control systems
Setpoint tuning method gives excellent response to load changes
The technique has been thoroughly tested with simulations and actual control loops
Rationalizing PID tuning with a model-based approach
The method provides flexibility in using any PID algorithm, process transfer function and test pattern
Consider a neuro-fuzzy system to model a delayed coking process
Soft-sensing techniques can be used to achieve realistic control models
