The process control and instrumentation minor emphasizes developing skills and knowledge in theory, software and in the field. Students graduate ready to solve complex control problems in the chemical ...

Although control-oriented applications typically need fast interrupt response and an ability to efficiently process bit-level control and status information, signal-processing applications require ...

In this article, as in industry, advanced process control (APC) refers primarily to multi-variable control. Multivariable control means adjusting multiple single-loop controllers in unison, to meet ...

Reinforcement learning (RL) represents a paradigm shift in process control, offering adaptive and data‐driven strategies for the management and optimisation of complex industrial processes. By ...

At some point in our lives, we have dropped a drinking glass or knocked over a glass-blown knickknack, only to watch it hit the floor and shatter into pieces. We learn from any early age that glass is ...

18 November 2008 — Honeywell said it won an $11 million contract to provide process control hardware and software to Nuon’s Magnum plant, a 1,300 MW natural gas-fired combined-cycle, three-unit power ...

Recent Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) research aims to better understand the potential of process control enhancements, such as load control, sliding pressure control, and steam temperature ...

In a recent article in the Journal of Chromatography A, lead authors Alexander Armstrong, Stephen Goldrick, PhD, and Kieran Horry, of University College London, write that “novel control strategies ...

Today’s common bioprocessing technologies do not efficiently develop complex biologics like cell and gene therapy and mRNA products. The at-line monitoring, off-line analytics, and legacy control ...

In process automation, an alarm is defined as an audible and/or visible means of indicating to the operator an equipment malfunction, process deviation, or abnormal condition requiring an operator ...

Aim: To demonstrate the potential of in-line nanoparticle size measurements using the NanoFlowSizer (NFS) as a PAT method. To achieve real-time process control by establishing automated regulation of ...

Many assays have integrated, built-in, or internal controls to demonstrate their operability at specific procedural steps. What role do these built-in controls play in quality control to assure ...
