The process control and instrumentation minor emphasizes developing skills and knowledge in theory, software and in the field. Students graduate ready to solve complex control problems in the chemical ...

I recently surveyed the on-site development of the control system for a large concentrated solar power station. This “first of a kind” facility offered many control challenges, such as balancing heat ...

Process Engineering encompasses the analysis, modeling, simulation, optimization, design, control and operation of process systems, from micro-sized systems to huge industrial facilities. Many ...

Plant automation has historically been the responsibility of the control system engineer—you know, the instrumentation guy, the DCS guy, the PLC and HMI guy. Interfaces were straightforward with ...

Don Bartusiak, chief engineer, process control at ExxonMobil at the ARC Forum last year. It was two years ago that control system suppliers contemplated ExxonMobil’s request for an open process ...

Across the semiconductor industry, both FD-SOI and finFET transistor technologies are in high volume production, with IC manufacturers looking to extend both technologies to gain additional ...

Aerospace, etc, that seem to have nothing to do with chemicals at all. The foundational nature of chemical engineering is the cause for the widespread presence of this engineering branch. Chemical ...

The refining and petrochemical industry is reliant on improving return on assets and lowering operating costs to be competitive. In these challenging times, doing more with less is essential to ...
