Easy-to-implement solutions that don't require complex mathematics Without resorting to complicated concepts, Troubleshooting Process Plant Control, Second Edition provides readers the skills needed to solve typical problems in process control. It's filled with real-life examples of problems that commonly arise in process control alongside common sense solutions. Moreover, the text is exceptionally easy to understand. While there are many new control concepts presented, they are all solidly based on decades-old technical concepts. The new edition expands on the first book with the addition of five new chapters as well as new troubleshooting examples throughout the text. It emphasizes well-established process engineering principles that enable engineers and operators to switch from manual control loops to automatic control. Among the new chapters presented are: * Reboiler, feed preheat, refrigeration unit, and vaporizer control * Air cooler and shell and tube condenser control * Boiler plant and de-aerator, condensate recovery, and demineralizer control * "Inverted" response to a changed process variable * Controlling catalytic process units With its straightforward explanations, clear examples, and easy-to-implement solutions, this book is ideal for all plant console operators and process engineers.
