Batch Control Systems - Design, Application, and Implementation PDF

This book is about process control as it is practiced in batch process industries. That means mostly recipe-driven procedural control and the equipment entities that make recipes relatively simple. The book does not include discussions of implementing most basic control, like temperature and pH control. There are many books on the subject of process control. The ISA 88 series calls it basic control relative to procedural control, which does not have a wide selection of books. It does not cover specific control systems or computer operating systems or database applications for batch control, but does talk about those things in general.

Purpose

This book is intended to update ISA's "Batch Process Control" book with the findings of SP88, both as discussion of 88.01 and as experience in applying 88.01, and to update the technology in the first edition.
