Control, operations and safety

(ENG)

4 points + 26 lectures and tutorials + Fisrt semester + OCDL + Clayton, Malaysia

Synopsis: Operability of continuous processes: Variation in operating conditions; use of probability functions; multiple operating cases: Overdesign, additional units and intermediate storage for operability. Batch processes: Batch and semicontinuous operations; Gantt charts; overlapping batches. Introduction to process control: Process requirements; external disturbances; stability of the process. Control configurations: Feedback, inferential, cascade, feedforward and ratio control. Control of unit operations: Level, flow, pressure, heat exchanger, distillation and reactor control. Control of complete processes: Systems of interacting units; intermediate storage. Safety.

Assessment: Examination: 100%
