Web Seminar: pH Control Solutions (EI01W)

Click here to view list of Web Seminar offerings.

Description:

This seminar covers the root causes of poor performance in pH control systems. The source of these problems can originate in the process, piping, equipment, electrode, valve, or controller. The plant and control system design should be analyzed to get the most cost effective solution. In this course, attendees will cover principles and key concepts that explain the basic nature of these challenges and options.

Instructor: Gregory McMillian

You will be able to:

  • Recognize the degree of difficulty posed by a pH control application
  • List control strategy solutions
  • Identify modeling and control options
  • Explain the root causes of poor performance
  • Prioritize improvements based on cost, time, and goal
  • Discuss the interrelationship between plant and control system design
  • Recognize important implementation considerations
  • Discuss insights for diagnosing and solving a wide variety of pH problems

You will cover:

  • Nature of pH Challenge: Sensitivity and Rangeability | Nonlinearity | Electrode Limitations | Control Valve Requirements
  • Modeling and Control Solutions: Embedded pH Model | Feedforward | Linear Reagent Demand | Batch and Startup | Model Predictive Control
  • Plant Design Implications: Equipment | Piping | Measurement | Control Valve | Track Down the Cause of Poor pH System Performance
