This book provides practical, comprehensive knowledge on how to use the advances in analytical measurements and basic and advanced control to improve batch profiles and endpoint consistency. The consequential integration of measurements, models, and controls into a digital twin with recently developed blocks to provide profiles and predict endpoints enables:Developing dynamic models from trend charts that are used for experiment design, diagnosing the sources of limitations and inconsistences, and developing and testing solutions 500 times real time without interfering with existing plant operation.Comprehensive views of basic process control with the possibilities of model predictive control to control and optimize batch profiles by non-intrusive development and confirmation.The ability to determine how to maximize the performance of bioreactors, which are often the bottleneck and the key to product quality and consistency, without tests or trials in the actual plant.The resulting improvements in batch cycle time and consistency can be designed, tested, quantified, and confirmed; and operators can be trained independently of actual plant operation. The benefit from the elimination of a bad batch—particularly for new biologics—is potentially worth ten or more million dollars.

Advanced pH Measurement and Control: Digital Twin Synergy and Advances in Technology details system design, installation, maintenance and ongoing improvement, including a special focus on how digital twins and first-principles charge balance contribute to innovation, operability, productivity, reliability and maintainability. It offers insights into key principles and advances in electrode technology and diagnostics, including a simple and largely untapped method for computing titration curves that match laboratory curves, as well as guidance on selecting and implementing the best control valves and strategies. The extraordinary sensitivity and rangeability of pH used for measuring and controlling hydrogen concentration introduce many challenges in managing the nonlinearity in the control loop and the precision needed for the control valve. This, combined with pH's critical role in maintaining cell health in biological processes, as well as in the production of clean water, food, pharmaceuticals and chemicals, makes the best pH control system particularly important and challenging. Despite these challenges, the outcomes can lead to significant reductions in equipment costs and, more importantly, substantial improvements in system reliability and performance. Finally, the appendices cover fundamental principles and provide guidance on using new PID features to reduce project costs and maximize process efficiency, capacity and safety.

This book provides a comprehensive view of what is needed to take advantage of the latest developments in smart and wireless temperature measurements and control strategies. A fundamental understanding of the capabilities of temperature sensors and the advances in wireless technology are provided. The effect of sensor types and installation on measurement accuracy and speed is detailed. Guidance is provided for making the commonly faced choice between thermocouples versus resistance temperature detectors. The temperature control requirements for various types of equipment are discussed. Control systems to meet specific objectives are provided. The appendices provide solutions to the exercises, data important for heat transfer, a unification of controller tuning methods, and equations to estimate process dynamics.

Do you want to: Know more than your boss? Sleep like a baby before a start-up (less crying in the middle of the night)? Get back early from start-ups? Have vendors ask what you think works best? Become the "e;go-to person?"e; Have your CEO smile at you? Inspire your children to become automation engineers? Get knowing twinkles in your eyes like the technologist about to retire? Get asked what your key to success is? Get invited by operators to special meals in the control room kitchen? Create a worldwide recognition of the value of the automation profession? Become famous and a regular guest on late-night TV? Be remembered for all the right reasons? While this book cannot guarantee the above results, the content should provide an automation engineer with a proven pathway to career and technical success. Much of the automation field relies on experience, and many believe that experience only comes with gray, thinning hair and plenty of wrinkles. However, with this book, we invite you to fully benefit from two lifetimes of hard-earned lessons and to avoid many of the technical and career pitfalls the authors encountered along the way. With 60 years of experience in automation and control, Greg McMillan and Hunter Vegas have installed equipment worth hundreds of millions of dollars and managed thousands of projects. We have seen (and sometimes made) many mistakes, and we wear the scars and gray hair as proof. Luckily for you, we're ready to share what works and what doesn't, so the next generation can learn from our experience. So... save your hair! Avoid premature aging! And most importantly, save yourself a lot of pain and suffering! We really wish we'd had a book like this when we were starting out.
