Process control is a statistics and engineering discipline that deals with architectures, mechanisms and algorithms for controlling the output of a specific process. It is a systematic use of tools to identify significant variations in operational performance and output quality, determine root causes, make corrections and verify results.
It is currently reported that advanced control can improve product yield; reduce energy consumption; increase capacity; improve product quality and consistency; reduce product giveaway; increase responsiveness; improved process safety and reduce environmental emissions.
METS has developed a Process Control Fundamentals Course. This course focuses on the process of planning and regulating, with the objective of performing the process in an effective and efficient way.

Personnell attending this course will gain an understanding of the process control fundamentals which include optimisation control, reducing variability, increasing efficiency and ensuring safety. Course attendents will also learn about the process control methods, mathematical modelling of chemical processes, multivariable control, PID control and block diagram.

Participants are provided with comprehensive course notes on CD covering the basic theoretical and practical aspects of Process Control. This will serve as a valuable resource for later reference.
