Unit Outcomes: | On successful completion of this unit students will have gained an introduction to advanced chemical process control concepts, namely, feedforward, cascade, ratio and inferential control. They will also become familiar with multi-loop control design including pairing and decoupling for chemical process systems and the design and implementation of digital control techniques for selected chemical engineering systems. |
