    The document discusses process control design criteria for various unit operations including distillation columns, reactors, pumps, tanks, and batch operations. It describes typical arrangements for controlling pressure, reflux rate, and boilup in distillation columns. For reactors, it recommends locating heat exchangers outside the reactor and using jackets or coils for temperature control. It also provides guidelines for pump flow control, tank relief designs, and using programmable logic controllers for batch recipes.
