This is a repost from a blog I follow called Recruiting Animal. While I subscribe to his blog, I don’t know the guy. We work in different areas, and our potential for doing split placement work I suspect is probably nil. Most of the time, I don’t even get a chance to read his posts, […]
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 […]
from Modeling And Control From a control perspective, it is highly desirable that the process gain be constant. If the process gain is constant, then the same proportional gain may be used over the entire operating range of the control loop. However, if for example the valve characteristic has not been selected based on […]
For the last few years, especially since the public revelation of Operation Aurora, the targeted successful intrusion into Google and two dozen other companies, I have often been asked by our worldwide customers if they should worry about such sophisticated penetrations themselves or if that is a concern only for government agencies, defense contractors, and […]
Distributed control system with benefits In this installment of What Works, a DCS upgrade enhances data acquisition and improves machine performance. When is a new equipment installation more than just implementing new devices? When it delivers benefits beyond and outside the areas you originally planned. When is a technical partnership more than just working […]
Sigurd Skogestad A chemical plant may have thousands of measurements and control loops. By the term plantwide control it is not meant the tuning and behavior of each of these loops, but rather the control philosophy of the overall plant with emphasis on the structural decisions. In practice, the control system is usually divided into […]
From: Yahoo Finance By Miriam Salpeter Wouldn’t it be nice to have a little more control over your job search? It’s frustrating applying over and over again for jobs and never hearing back. When you apply online, the odds are against you unless your qualifications exactly match what the employer wants. (In other words, unless […]
To achieve best overall plant operation, it is often necessary to coordinate the operation of equipment in multiple process areas. In Chapter 16 of Control Loop Foundation – Batch and Continuous Processes, some examples are given where multi-loop techniques may be effectively used for such coordination. One of the examples from this chapter is power […]
In a previous post I attempted to explain that recruiters are beholden to their clients, largely because clients pay their bills. That said, I feel I need to offer some pointers in how to get an even amount of attention since as a candidate, you are the one who will be doing the work, and where […]
