A Career in Process Control
- Requires that engineers use all of their chemical
engineering training (i.e., provides an excellent
technical profession that can last an entire career)
- Allows engineers to work on projects that can result

Objectives of Process Control
Maintain a stable process operation
Appropriate instruments/sensors are to be
implemented to operate under fail/safe
conditions.
Chapter 1
Process Control
Objective: to maintain or operate a process at the desired
operating conditions safely and efficiently, while satisfying
environmental and product quality requirements.
a) Large scale, continuous processes:
i. Oil refinery, ethylene plant, pulp mill
ii. Typically, 1000 5000 process variables are measured.
1. Most of these variables are also controlled.

1.1 Illustrative Example: Blending system
Chapter 1
Notation:
w1, w2 and w are mass flow rates
x1, x2 and x are mass fractions of component A
Dr.M.A.A.ShoukatChoudhury 23
Assumptions:
1. w1 is constant
2. x2 = constant = 1 (stream 2 is pure A)
3. Perfect mixing in the tank
Control Objective:
Chapter 1
Terminology:
Controlled variable (or output variable): x
Manipulated variable (or input variable): w2
Disturbance variable (or load variable): x1
Dr.M.A.A.ShoukatChoudhury 24
Design Question. What value of w2 is required to have
x = xSP ?
Overall balance:
0 = w1 + w2 w (1-1)
Chapter 1
Component A balance:
w1 x1 + w2 x2 wx = 0 (1-2)
xSP x1 ( t )
w2 ( t ) = w1 (1-5)
1 xSP
1 x w2 FBa
2 x1 w2 FF
3 x1 and x w2 FF/FB
4 - - Design change
Feedback Control:
Distinguishing feature: measure the controlled variable
the disturbance.
Reduces sensitivity of the controlled variable to
disturbances and changes in the process (shown later).
Disadvantages:
No corrective action occurs until after the disturbance
has upset the process, that is, until after x differs from
xsp.
Very oscillatory responses, or even instability
Dr.M.A.A.ShoukatChoudhury 34
Feedforward Control:
Distinguishing feature: measure a disturbance
variable
Advantage:
Correct for disturbance before it upsets the process.
Chapter 1
Disadvantage:
Must be able to measure the disturbance.
No corrective action for unmeasured disturbances.
