• Instrumentation and Process Control = Instrumentation for Process

Control…

• Which instruments are used to control process?

• Which type of chemical processes can be control?

 CH503 Instrumentation and Process Control

• Which type of chemical processes can be control?

• Nitration..? Sulphonation..? Chlorination..?...?..?

• Chemical process control is control of parameters of these processes

• Which parameters..? Temperature, pressure, flow, level..etc.
