COURSE OVERVIEW:

This comprehensive training course focuses on enhancing skills in process control, advanced process control (APC), and optimization in modern process industries. Using cutting-edge technologies such as inferential technology, soft sensors, and property estimators, participants will learn how to improve plant stability, efficiency, and profitability.

The course covers the fundamentals of traditional process control, the role and implementation of model-based predictive control (MPC), practical optimization techniques, and the use of inferential and soft sensing technologies for real-time estimation of key process and quality variables. Participants will also develop the ability to identify, review, and implement changes in process control systems to optimize equipment performance and overall process behavior at industrial sites.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

After completion of this course, the participants will be able to:

-Describe the core principles of traditional process control methods used in process industries.

-Explain the behavior of basic control loops and the function of PID controllers and feedback control strategies.

-Understand the role, significance, and benefits of advanced process control (APC) in improving plant performance.

-Explain the fundamentals of model-based predictive control (MPC) and its application to multivariable processes with constraints.

-Apply optimization concepts and techniques to enhance the efficiency and economic performance of industrial processes.

-Describe the purpose and operation of inferential sensors and their role in estimating unmeasured process variables.

-Develop and implement soft sensors and property estimators for real-time monitoring and control of product quality and key process properties.

-Apply best practices for integrating inferential technology and soft sensors into existing control and APC structures.

-Use systematic methods to identify areas for improvement in existing process control systems and strategies.

-Review, evaluate, and safely implement changes in process control systems to achieve more stable, efficient, and optimized operation.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

-Process Engineers

-Control System Engineers

-Automation Engineers

-Industrial Technologists

-Operations and Production Managers

-Plant Supervisors involved in process performance and control

TRAINING COURSE METHODOLOGY:

A highly interactive combination of lectures and discussion sessions, as well as case studies, will be managed to maximize the amount and quality of information, knowledge, and experience transfer. The course will be intensive but practical and highly interactive. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivating everybody to find the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their questions and to share in developing the right answers using their analysis and experience. There will also be some indoor experiential activities to enhance learning. Course material through PowerPoint equipped with necessary animation, learning videos, and general discussions will be provided.

The course participants shall be evaluated before, during, and after the course.

COURSE CERTIFICATE:

National Consultant Centre for Training LLC (NCC) will issue an Attendance Certificate to all participants who complete at least 80% of the total attendance time requirement.
