This third edition provides chemical engineers with process control techniques that are used in practice while offering detailed mathematical analysis. Numerous examples and simulations are used to illustrate key theoretical concepts. New exercises are integrated throughout several chapters to reinforce concepts. Up-to-date information is also included on real-time optimization and model predictive control to highlight the significant impact these techniques have on industrial practice. And chemical engineers will find two new chapters on biosystems control to gain the latest perspective in the field.

From the Back Cover
Design Control Systems Using Modern Technologies and Techniques
Process control has increased in importance in the process industries, driven by global competition, rapidly changing economic conditions, more stringent environmental and safety regulations, and the need for more flexible yet more complex processes to manufacture high value-added products.
This long-awaited second edition of Dale Seborg, Thomas Edgar, and Duncan Mellichamp’s PROCESS DYNAMIC AND CONTROL reflects recent changes and advances in process control theory and technology. The authors have added new topics, and enhanced the presentation with a large number of new exercises and examples, many of which utilize MATLAB and Simulink.
New and expanded topics includes:
- Mathematical modeling of chemical processes
- Developing dynamic models from process data
- Control system design
- Process safety and process control
- Enhanced single-loop control
- Digital control
- Multiloop and multivariable control
- Real-time optimization
- Model predictive control
- Process monitoring
- Batch process control
- Plantwide control
- Applications to semiconductor manufacturing and bioprocessing
- Control hardware and software

Old tabs were left inside the book, but other than that issue it was in good shape and arrived promptly

This is a great book for a first course in process control. It has a very good layout that builds up concepts until the end. I agree that this book may not be an ideal reference book because it is hard to pick up half way through. However, I think it lays out the foundation for true understanding of the subject. I keep this book on my shelf at all times and find myself reaching for it to refresh my memory on control concepts.

Although the book was a very boring read, the depth of knowledge was quite good. There was much more information in the book than was required for my senior course on Process Dynamics and Control in my engineering program.

Not bad, but not great
Unlike the other Chemical Engineering courses I took, this was the most abstract. This book was boring to read. Read more
