Description
Efforts to maximize plant operability and reliability often depend heavily on state-of-the-art monitoring, instrumentation, and control systems. This guidebook contains tutorial-style articles covering the use of instrumentation and control to ensure the operability of various plant assets, proper specification and operation of specific instrumentation types, and engineering recommendations for improving wireless-sensor integrity and reducing cybersecurity risks at chemical process industries (CPI) facilities. Coverage also includes modeling for batch operations and distillation-system performance.
These practical, how-to articles were originally published in Chemical Engineering.
