Process Control Primer
Introduction
The type of control to be discussed is the kind involved in the so-called “Process Industries”, such as chemicals, petroleum, metals, paper, textiles, food, and water management.

Examples are the refining of crude oil into fuel oils and gasoline; the conversion of wood pulp into paper; the extraction of metals from ores; the heat treating of metals; the production of glass; and the processing of municipal and industrial water supplies.
Processes Since the type of equipment we will discuss is the kind used in the measurement and control of industrial processes, identification of these processes will aid our understanding of what this equipment is and what its purposes are. Processes involve the handling of large quantities of raw materials in a continuous or semi-continuous (batch) stream, modifying the raw materials through either chemical or mechanical changes to make a product that has more value than the original materials.
