Presented over four days, this practical course covers all the essentials of process control and tools to optimise the operation of your plant and process, and regards the process, from the primary measuring evice, through the controller, right down to the final control element as a chain with important links. Controllers need to be carefully matched to the process to work optimally; this matching procedure is called tuning. Controllers that are not correctly configured and tuned will not perform optimally and will not reduce variability in the process as they should.
This course is aimed at engineers and technicians who wish to have a clear, practical understanding of the essentials of instrumentation and final control elements typically found in common loops. It incorporates loop tuning, as well as how to optimise the operation of their particular plant or process. Mathematical theory has been kept to a minimum with the emphasis throughout on practical applications and useful information.
But it does not stop there, stay for the second section of this course and continue your training in Advanced process Control (APC). APC is an essential part of the modern plant. Small differences in process parameters can have large effects on profitability; get it right and profits continue to grow; get it wrong and there are major losses. Many applications of APC have pay back times well below one year. APC does require a detailed knowledge of the plant to design a working system and continual follow up along the life of the plant to ensure it is working optimally. Cascade Control, Feed forward control, control with long dead times, IMC and MPC are all considered, with respect to different applications. At the end of this course you will have the skills to troubleshoot / tune / deal with and understand a wide variety of process loops.
