Every plant in the process industry most likely has several control loops that do not perform well. Although there are many factors that may negatively affect control loop performance, a few of these ...

Control valve selection plays a crucial role in optimizing control loop performance, and engineers must consider factors beyond just cost, leakage class and pressure drop. As explored in a Control ...

In this article, as in industry, advanced process control (APC) refers primarily to multi-variable control. Multivariable control means adjusting multiple single-loop controllers in unison, to meet ...

Success is less about memorizing formulas and more about understanding process behavior, valves, operators and controller ...

It’s not, “You say ‘tomato’ and I say ‘tomahto.’ ” With advanced process controls (APCs), you either know what they are or you don’t. If you do know, you know they give for-real, money-in-your-pocket ...

Intrepid’s patented technology enables a “closed loop” of contemporaneous feedback/print run optimization during builds. Closed-loop operation results in vastly improved print quality: higher ...

Systematic methodology is the key to quickly and effectively troubleshooting control circuits. Even the most experienced troubleshooter must rely on a systematic troubleshooting process to solve ...

Note: This specialization requires purchase of a hardware kit in order to apply your knowledge and skill with real world tools. The hardware will be used to complete the lab exercises across the four ...
