He started working as an engineer for Shell Oil Co. in 1961. At that time, he developed the Dynamic Matrix Control Algorithm DMC, which made it possible to control and optimize the processes in the refinery. He was eventually given management oversight of all the control systems at Shell, and DMC became the standard method of controll ...

Advanced Process Control
In control theory, Advanced process control (APC) refers to a broad range of techniques and technologies implemented within industrial process control systems. Advanced process controls are usually deployed optionally and in addition to ''basic'' process controls. Basic process controls are designed and built with the process itself, to facilitate basic operation, control and automation requirements. Advanced process controls are typically added subsequently, often over the course of many years, to address particular performance or economic improvement opportunities in the process. Process control (basic and advanced) normally implies the process industries, which includes chemicals, petrochemicals, oil and mineral refining, food processing, pharmaceuticals, power generation, etc. These industries are characterized by continuous processes and fluid processing, as opposed to discrete parts manufacturing, such as automobile and electronics manufacturing. The term process automa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
