Sinopsis\

As competition becomes stiffer in the chemical marketplace and processes become more complicated to operate, it is advantageous to make use of some form of automatic control. Automatic control of a process offers many advantages, including

• Enhanced process safety
• Satisfying environmental constraints
• Meeting ever-stricter product quality specifications
• More efficient use of raw materials and energy
• Increased profitability

Considering all the benefits that can be realized through process control, it is well worth the time and effort required to become familiar with the concepts and practices used in the field.
