17.2. Process Engineering in Practice

There is a limit to the amount of material that can be covered in a single textbook with reasonable length and depth of coverage. In this text we have chosen topics that we consider to form a firm basis for further study in automation and control. Hopefully you now have a firm foundation for further study on automation and control-related topics.

Topics Not Covered

Important topics not addressed in this textbook to a significant extent include the following:

  • Statistical process control (SPC): SPC is used by process engineers and operators to determine if a process is producing a product that is meeting specified quality targets. SPC techniques attempt to differentiate between normal statistical deviations ...
