Process Instrumentation and Control-2

The document provides an overview of process instrumentation and control, emphasizing the importance of control valves in pressure drop and the necessity of understanding plant control philosophy during the design phase. It outlines key topics such as basics of process control, instrumentation, P&ID reading, and process safety. The content serves as a brief introduction for design purposes, with more detailed information to be covered in a dedicated process control class.

Process Instrumentation & Control
• Control valves make a significant contribution to pressure drop (see
later lecture on hydraulics)

• Control valve location can create a need for additional pumps and
compressors, and must be decided in order to size the pumps and
compressors

• It is therefore necessary for the design engineer to understand the


plant control philosophy even at the PFD stage and the PFD usually
shows the location of control valves

• More details of process control are usually included in the piping


and instrumentation diagram (P&ID) – see Ch 5

• This lecture is a very brief overview of control for design purposes –


more will come in your process control class
