Abstract/Summary
The definition of a Control System in Chemical and Petrochemical Plants requires specific know-how with the target of optimizing and improving existing systems and designing new ones. When designing a system, it is necessary to follow some basic steps such as modelling the system, analysing such model, designing the system/controller and finally, implementing and testing it. In order to bridge the gap between the industry’s in-depth knowledge of classical control techniques and the new process simulation features, Inprocess proposes a simulation-based course, targeting process control engineers, where the right combination of theory and practical exercises allows the meeting of such professional needs. Training could be extended to Multivariable model predictive control (MPC) topics
