Abstract
Process control is a fundamental aspect of chemical engineering, ensuring the stability, efficiency, and safety of chemical processes. The application of advanced process control techniques is critical in optimizing chemical manufacturing, improving product quality, reducing energy consumption, and minimizing environmental impact. This article explores the various process control techniques used in chemical engineering, including feedback control, model predictive control (MPC), and distributed control systems (DCS). It also discusses the role of process control in improving automation, safety, and the sustainability of chemical processes, as well as the challenges and future directions in the field.
