CHE 432 Process Control Lab (GR 36)

The main objective of Process Control Laboratory is to demonstrate to the students the basic principles of control theory of different processes and scaling up of laboratory level to large industrial scale. Students will conduct experiments that deal with control of valves, flow level, temperature, and pressure.

Lab Experiments

1.    Controlling flow through (1) valve adjustment (2) pump speed

2.    Control the level of fluid in the process vessel and measure its time constant

3.    Control the temperature of the water in the heater tank

4.    Control the pressure of the process vessel through various means

5.    Control the level by cascade control configuration with inlet flow
