It’s not, “You say ‘tomato’ and I say ‘tomahto.’ ” With advanced process controls (APCs), you either know what they are or you don’t. If you do know, you know they give for-real, money-in-your-pocket ...

Process control Constrained MPC has been widely adopted in the refining and petrochemical industries worldwide. In most cases, these controllers are designed to push and maintain a plant at its most ...

Marcus Hoversland, a UW graduate and process engineer at HF Sinclair in Casper, interacts with UW students in an “Intro to Chemical Engineering” class. UW has received a generous investment from HF ...

In this article, as in industry, advanced process control (APC) refers primarily to multi-variable control. Multivariable control means adjusting multiple single-loop controllers in unison, to meet ...

Chipmakers are relying on machine learning for electroplating and wafer cleaning at leading-edge process nodes, augmenting traditional fault detection/classification and statistical process control in ...

Advanced process control systems manage multiple variables simultaneously, helping food manufacturers maintain consistent quality even when raw ingredients fluctuate. Four control strategies — ...

Learn chemical process simulation, economics, automation, and control. Design and retrofit chemical processes to achieve improved performance and a better bottom line. Build skills in advanced process ...

Process control can be viewed as the executive portion of a unit process. It provides the means to direct a process so that it produces the desired results. It is complementary to the role played by ...

As chips evolve toward stacked, heterogeneous assemblies and adopt more complex materials, engineers are grappling with new and often less predictable sources of variation. This is redefining what it ...
