So why another book on process control?
Process Control: A Practical Approach is aground-breaking guide that provides everything needed to design andmaintain process control applications.
The book follows the hierarchy from basic control, throughadvanced regulatory control, up to and including multivariablecontrol. It addresses many process-specific applications includingthose on fired heaters, compressors and distillation columns.
Written with the practicing control engineer in mind, thebook:
* Brings together proven design methods, many of which have neverbeen published before
* Focuses on techniques that have an immediate practicalapplication
* Minimizes the use of daunting mathematics - but for themore demanding reader, complex mathematical derivations areincluded at the end of each chapter
* Covers the use of all the algorithms, common to mostdistributed control systems
This book raises the standard of what might be expected of evenbasic controls. In addition to the design methods it describesany shortcuts that can be taken and how to avoid common pitfalls.Proper application will result in significant improvements toprocess performance.
Myke King's practical approach addresses the needs of theprocess industry, and will improve the working practices of manycontrol engineers.
"This book would be of value to process controlengineers in any country." - Mr Andrew Ogden-Swift,Chairmain, Process Management and Control Subject Group,Institution of Chemical Engineers, UK
"This book should take the process-control world bystorm." - Edward Dilley, Lecturer in ProcessControl, ESD Simulation Training

"The author is experienced and he dosen't hesitate to tell you whathe thinks, making this a good book to increase your practicalknowledge of regulatory control." (TCE- The Chemical Engineer,March 2012)
