From process conceptualization to plant design and operation
Plantwide Process Control
Process Control, the control systems strategic design and tuning of control systems in processing plants, require insights into chemical engineering fundamentals, like thermodynamics and fluid mechanics, which are often neglected in the training of control engineers. Our training will enable the engineer to develop their own rule-of-thumb estimates, understand the interdependencies in a physical way and help them to isolate variables though design modifications, where possible. Especially in this field of engineering we find that simple “how-tos” will limit the process engineering design to standard setups and limit the creativity and ingenuity of the engineer to solve challenging control applications. We will thrive on designing control systems ingeniously simple and robust, before venturing with the trainees into advanced process control loops and strategies.
