MAJOR COURSE UPDATE:
We have added a quiz at the end of each section to help you test your knowledge and emphasize the key learning points. The quiz includes:
True/False questions
Multi-choice questions
Images, cross-sectionnal views
Solved problems
and much more...
When you think you’ve got a good grasp on a topic within the course, you can test your knowledge by taking the quiz. If you pass, wonderful ! If not, you can review the videos and notes again or ask us for help in the Q&A section.

Control in process industries refers to the regulation of all aspects of the process. Precise control of level, temperature, pressure and flow is important in many process applications.
Designed around a series of practical examples which we work through to a solution, this valuable course is an essential guide to a complete understanding of :
functioning
design
tuning of process controls and PID* controllers
Useful reference data, technical recommendations, field observations andnumerous process control schemes are presented in an-easy-to-use format.
The course also cautions the process control engineer that the performance of a properly designed process control system can be severely compromised when used in conjunction with incorrect PID* controller settings.
PID* controller tuning guidelines and their rationale according to the Ziegler Nicholls method, as well as some precautions, are offered to ensure optimum performance.
Typical tuning examples have been included to assist in understanding how specific formulae are applied.
In addition, you will find at the end of each section a technical quiz to test your knowledge. If you pass : wonderful ! If not, you can watch the video lectures again or ask us for help in the Q&A section.
So with no further ado, check out the free preview videos and the curriculum of the course and we look forward to seeing you in the first section.
Thank you for your interest in our online courses. We hope to see you there.
