At publication, The Control Handbook immediately became the definitive resource that
engineers working with modern control systems required. Among its many accolades, that …

Controllability is one of the most important aspects of chemical process operability, because
it can be used to assess the attainable operation of a given process and improve its dynamic …

Control technology permeates every aspect of our lives. We rely on them to perform a wide
variety of tasks without giving much thought to the origins of the technology or how it became …

This paper addresses the synthesis of control configurations that have optimal structural
coupling characteristics between manipulated inputs and controlled outputs in terms of …

The emphasis on process economics in modern chemical plants has led to the increased
use of material recycle and energy integration that significantly alter process dynamics and …

Plantwide control (PWC) methodologies have gained significant importance given the high
and increasing degree of integration in chemical processes due to material recycle, energy …

This paper is a review of plantwide control, presenting both an introductory view for those
new to the subject and also summarizing recent advances for those familiar with it. Previous …

Many plants presently incorporate mass and heat integration schemes because they can
offer substantial material and energy savings. In designing such integrated processes, the …

Performance analysis of plantwide control (PWC) systems, which is one of the important
areas of PWC of industrial processes, has not received much attention in the past. In this …

The concept of plantwide control structure synthesis is not new to the chemical process
industry. The approaches used can be classified into two main categories: a process …
