Preface
Material in this book is sequenced for the process engineer who needs ‘some’ background in process control (Chapters 1–5) through to the process engineer who wishes to specialise in advanced process control (Chapters 1–9). The theory needed to properly understand and implement the methods is presented as succinctly as possible, with extensive recourse to linear algebra, allowing multi-input, multi-output problems to be interpreted as simply as single-input, single-output problems.
Before moving on to the more advanced algorithms, an essential practical background is laid out on plant instrumentation and control schemes (Chapters 2, 4 and 5). Chapter 3 builds modelling abilities from the simplest time-loop algorithm through to discrete ...
