Description
Welcome to this online course on advanced process control.

Control in process industries refers to the regulation of all aspects of the process. Precise control of level, temperature, pressure and flow is important in many process applications.

This course introduces you to advanced process control in process industries, explains why control is important and identifies different ways in which precise control is ensured for the main process equipment such as chemical reactors, pumps, compressors, fired heaters and heat exchangers just to name a few.

The course also introduces you to Safety Instrumented Systems SIS, Alarm Systems and Interlocks : their anatomy, their requirement, their functions and how they are represented in engineering drawings such as Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams, more commonly referred to as P&ID's.

The course includes extensive graphics and industrial process control schemes for each major piece of equipment found in the process industry, as well as numerous Safety Instrumented Systems that will be broken down for you into easily digestible concepts.

The knowledge gained in this course will help you to understand all process control loops and safety systems so that you can draw the correct information from them.

Finally, included in the course are access to numerous downloadable resources, real industrial examples of process control and the keys to interpret them in high quality video lectures. You will be able to practice and become even more proficient with these bonus items that you will find throughout the course.

So with no further ado, check out the free preview videos and the curriculum of the course and we look forward to seeing you in the first section.

Hope to see you there
