Introduction to Process Control infuses traditional topics with modern industry-based practices that provide more integrated process operation, control, and information systems. The authors adopt a beautifully conceived approach that follows a continuing problem throughout the entire text, adding new concepts and strategies to the example and culminating in a complete control design strategy. This fully realized system is implemented in MATLAB®, with software downloads available from the CRC Web site. The book also introduces data processing and reconciliation along with process monitoring as integral components of overall control system architecture and addresses the issues of plantwide control.
