1. Process Control Computer Laboratory Dr. Emad M. Ali Chemical Engineering Department King SAUD University

2. Motivations Emphasize the concept of process dynamics and control for undergraduate students Emphasize advanced control topics to graduate students Training tool for students, operators, engineers

3. Case Studies (1) Forced-circulation evaporator (2) Fluid catalytic cracking unit (3) Double Effect Evaporator (4) Multi Stage Flash Desalination Plant (5) Polyethylene Reactor (6) Ethylene Dimerization process (7) Two CSTR in series

4. Tutorials Open Loop dynamics Single Loop PID controller Multi-loops PID controller Feed Forward controller Steady State Disturbance analysis Process dynamic identification

5. Software Structure Nonlinear ODE model Online documentation MATLAB and SIMULINK Modules Main Menu

6. Demonstration Switch to MATLAB software

7. Steady State Analysis Study the effect of a specific disturbance on the process output Evaluate the ability of a specific MV to reject the effect of disturbance

8. Process Identification How to design input signal How to create empirical models from plant data Analyze and validate the resulted models

9. Conclusions Easy to use and interactive software for process control education and training. Can be easily modified to include additional case study, exercises and control strategies. Future version will include model predictive control tool.
