Natural Gas Technology Process Control

At the end of this course, the students should be able to: 1. acquire a working know-how of programmable logic controllers and distributed control systems; 2. explain the basics of controller action on centrifugal and reciprocating compressor; 3. engage in control room management exercises and training programs; 4. institute a maintenance program and trouble-shooting exercise for handling controller difficulties; and 5. develop mathematical models for process dynamic systems as lumped or distributed parameter systems as they apply to feedback control systems.
