Course Details

Objective

 After completion that course, you will be able to :

• Understand the theory of process control
• Know almost all industrial process applications, control of process variables
• Act safe and efficient operation of the process.
• Be familiar with the most common variables controlled are pressure, level, temperature, and flow.
• Define many different methods used to control these processes, this monitoring and control is generically called process control. Level, pressure, temperature, and flow are all controlled in a similar fashion.
• "Discuss the difference between direct- and reverse-acting controllers.
• Define common terms and symbols used in process control.
• Describe the function of self-regulated and non self-regulated processes."
• Introduction to industrial instrumentation
• Refresh the participant’s knowledge of basic electricity, electronics and physics
• Sensors and their use in the measurement of a wide variety of physical variables such as level, pressure, flow, temperature, humidity, and mechanical measurements are discussed in
• The use of regulators and actuators for controlling pressure, flow, and the control of the input variables to a process are discussed in
• Documentation as applied to instrumentation and control is introduced, together with standard symbols recommended by the Instrument Society of America (ISA) for use in instrumentation control diagrams.

Methodology

A highly interactive combination of lectures and discussion sessions will be managed to maximize the amount and quality of information and knowledge transfer. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions, and motivate everybody find the right answers. You will also be encouraged to raise your own questions and to share in the development of the right answers using your own analysis and experiences. Tests of multiple-choice type will be made available on daily basis to examine the effectiveness of delivering the course.

Very useful Course Materials will be given.
