Practical Process Control: Mastering PID Control

This comprehensive guide delves into the practical aspects of process control, focusing on PID controller design, tuning, and advanced control architectures. Starting with process dynamic modeling (including case studies on heat exchangers, gravity-drained tanks, and jacketed stirred reactors), it systematically explains proportional, integral, and derivative control, along with the role of various filters. The guide also covers handling integrating processes, cascade control, feedforward control, and advanced control strategies in real-world applications like distillation columns, providing a complete practical handbook for engineers.
