CHET 1320 - Process Control Operations I
Credit hours: 3
Prerequisites: MATH 1130 OR MATH 1710
Course Description: Principles of process control and the functions of instruments used to monitor and control chemical processes; topics include controllers, open and closed loops, pressure, temperature, flow, level, pH, conductivity, and humidity. Skill development to recognize instrument representation on piping and instrumentation diagrams; class 2 hours, lab 3 hours.
Student Learning Outcomes:
- Have a solid understanding of basic control principles with respect to open and closed loop systems and how processes are manipulated using controllers.
- Recognize the characteristics of input sensors - pressure, temperature, level, flow, conductivity and pH.
- Recognize characteristics of final control elements - actuated valves and pump drives.
- Know the difference in process control strategies for batch versus continuous processes.
