Description

1. What is process control?

Process control is the use of measurement, instrumentation, and control systems to monitor and regulate industrial processes automatically.

For example, in a chemical plant, the temperature of a reactor may need to remain at 200°C. A control system measures the actual temperature and adjusts heating or cooling to keep it near the desired value.

2. Why is process control important?

Process control helps industries achieve:

• Safety
• Consistent product quality
• Higher productivity
• Lower operating costs
• Reduced waste
• Efficient use of energy and materials
• Stable operation of equipment
