by Greg McMillan Batch and continuous temperature loops can have vastly different responses. Fortunately, temperature loops have a characteristic early in the response that enables a fast identification of the process dynamics. The resulting models can be used for process control improvement, tuning, and rapid deployment of models for plantwide simulations. From Modeling and […]
by Greg McMillan Feedback control systems play an important role in batch and continuous unit operations. What are the similarities and differences in the process response, tuning, control strategies, and advanced process control opportunities? What can continuous control specialists learn from batch control experts and vice versa? Is it possible there are some fundamental principles […]

from Modeling And Control by Terry Blevins Single-loop and multi-loop control may be used to address a wide variety of control requirements. However, if a process is characterized by extremely long process delays or by a high degree of process interaction, then other control techniques may be required. The control of quality parameters such as […]

I am currently doing a search for individuals with strong Process Safety Analysis (PHA) or Layers of Protection Analysis (LOPA) experience in either the petrochemical, refining, paper or power industries. There are a series of opening available, in locations around the country. Travel may be considerable, but it may be possible to office from home […]
IT compliance today requires a paradigm shift from a project-specific engagement to a comprehensive, centralized compliance program. In the past, Computer System Validation (CSV) in the life sciences was focused on software validation and infrastructure and computing platform qualification for systems that supported FDA-regulated activities and records. Today, organizations are increasingly focusing on overall, […]
TDC 3000. I am looking for someone with experience with both hardware and software aspects of the system, and can do application work on APM, HPM and perhaps some CL. This is a midwest client who has an immediate need for a qualified individual for at least six months. Experion. Houston need for someone with […]
from Control And Modeling In many applications, the process equipment is characterized as having multiple manipulated inputs. This type of equipment configuration is often referred to as a multiple input/multiple output process. The process control consists of multiple PID blocks where a process output and process input pair are associated with each PID. The […]
