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.
