Advanced Process Control for Engineers and Technicians

Overview

Introduction

This course provides engineers and technicians with an in-depth understanding of Advanced Process Control (APC) strategies used to optimize plant performance, increase productivity, and ensure safe and stable operations. It covers key concepts such as model predictive control, multivariable control, dynamic modeling, and real-time optimization. Participants will gain hands-on insights into tuning, troubleshooting, and sustaining APC applications using real industrial scenarios. The program also emphasizes instrumentation accuracy, data quality, and controller performance evaluation essential for effective APC deployment.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this training course, the participants will be able to:

• Understand APC concepts and multivariable control principles

• Apply model predictive control to process optimization

• Interpret dynamic models and improve controller performance

• Troubleshoot APC systems using data analysis tools

• Improve plant stability, safety, and reliability through APC
