Objectives of Process Control
The main objective in operating a chemical plant is to
improve profit while assuring products meet required
specifications and plant operation satisfies
environmental and operational constraints.
A sub objective that directly affects profit is to improve
control performance of key economic variables in the
plant, particularly the production rate & quality.
