Aim: Based upon process modelling this course aims at:
- Promoting an understanding of the function and application of simple feedforward and feedback control of chemical processes.
- Enabling the participants to design controllers for continuous and batchwise chemical processes.
- Providing an understanding for coupling measurements and actuators into a control structure for a chemical process plant.
- Exercising application of control theory on a process.
Contents: It is essential for chemical plants that the production can be carried out safely within the desired operation region. The following main subjects are treated :
Formulation of models for processes and process instumentation. Description of the linear dynamic behaviour of chemical processes. Introduction of proportional, integral and derivative feedback control. On-off control. Coupling of simple controllers: Cascade control, Feedforward control and ratio control. Control of nonlinear processes. Application of models to compensate for time delays. Internal model contro, is only mentioned. Control of batch processes using sequence control.
Control structures synthesis for process units and for process plants.
