In Optimization of Industrial Unit Processes, the term
"optimization" means the maximizing of productivity and safety
while minimizing operating costs. In a fully optimized plant,
efficiency and productivity are continuously maximized while
levels, temperatures, pressures, or flows float within their
allowable limits. This control philosophy differs from earlier
approaches - where levels and temperatures were controlled at
constant values, and plant productivity was only an accidental,
uncontrolled consequence of those controlled variables. With this
approach, the sides of a multivariable control envelope are the
various constraints while inside the envelope the process is
continuously moved to maximize efficiency and productivity. Because
one must understand a process before one can control it (let alone
optimize it), Optimization of Industrial Unit Processes discusses
the "personality" and characteristics of each process in term of
its time constants, gains, and other unique features. This book
provides information for engineers who design or operate industrial
plants and who seek to increase the profitability of their plants.
It recognizes that all industrial processes involve operations such
as material transportation, heat transfer, and reactions. Therefore
each plant consists of a combination of basic unit operations and
can be optimized by maximizing the efficiency, and minimizing the
operating cost, of the individual unit operations from which it is
composed. Optimization of Industrial Unit Processes discusses real
world processes - where pipes leak, sensors plug, and pumps
cavitate - offering practical solutions to real problems. Each
control system described in the book works, illustrating the state
of the art in controlling a particular unit operation. This second
edition reflects the continual improvement and evolution of control
systems as well as anticipates future advances. Bela G. Liptak
speaks on Post-Oil Energy Technology on the AT&T Tech Channel.
