This workshop is focussed 100% on flow from process control, tuning, flow instrumentation, control valves to fiscal metering. An introduction is given to the complete flow control system and methods of tuning flow loops followed by an examination of the different flow instruments with an emphasis on typical real-world applications. Close attention is given to special installation considerations and application limitations when selecting and installing different flow instruments.
It is claimed that the majority of control valves installed have not been correctly sized and that large numbers also operate in manual mode. We thus focus on the correct method of sizing and selecting a flow control valve. The course is rounded off by an examination of fiscal metering with a simple introduction to what can be a complex but critical subject involving revenues of millions of dollars.
Mathematical theory has been kept to a minimum and the focus is on practical design, installation, commissioning, troubleshooting and maintenance issues all focussed entirely on flow issues.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
Automation engineers
Building service designers
Chemical and mechanical engineers
Consulting engineers
Control technicians
Control valve specialists
Data systems planners and managers

Maximizing the return on your control investment meet the experts sessions part2Emerson Exchange
The design and commissioning of the controls associated with a continuous or batch process directly impact plant operating efficiency and production quality and throughput. In this session we review techniques that may be used to identify control opportunities to reduce production costs, minimize variations in product quality and to maximize production within the limits set by market demand. Several common application examples from the process industry will be used to illustrate how plant production rate and product quality are directly influenced by process control variation and constraints in plant operation. Starting with an assessment of control loop utilization and automatic control performance, a step by step process is outlined that may be used to identifying and addressing areas where it is possible to justified the time and material costs required to improve control performance. In particular, information will be provided on how to quickly tune single loop control of self-regulating or integrating process and to recognize when variations in control loop performance are not associated with loop tuning. An overview will be provided of tools and techniques that may be used to achieve best control performance over a wide variety of operating conditions. Also, guidance will be provided on when it is possible to justify the cost associated with the installation and commissioning of multi-loop techniques such as feedforward control, ratio and override control. The steps required to commission multi-loop control strategies will be address along with common mistakes to avoid. Also, input will be provided on how to recognize when advanced control techniques such as Fuzzy logic or MPC are needed to achieve the desired control performance. At the end of this session a drawing will be held to give away 10 copies of “Control Loop Foundation – Batch and Continuous Processes”. Many of the ideas discussed in this session are addressed in this book.
Mechatronics is a multidisciplinary field that refers to the skill sets needed in the contemporary, advanced automated manufacturing industry. At the intersection of mechanics, electronics, and computing, mechatronics specialists create simpler, smarter systems.

THE WORKSHOP:
This practical workshop covers all the essentials of process control and tools to optimise the operation of your plant and process, including the ability to perform effective loop tuning.
Practical process control is aimed at engineers and technicians who wish to have a clear, practical understanding of the essentials of process control and loop tuning, as well as how to optimise the operation of their particular plant or process. These persons would typically be primarily involved in the design, implementation and upgrading of industrial control systems. Mathematical theory has been kept to a minimum with the emphasis throughout on practical applications and useful information.
Inspection, Testing and Commissioning of Electrical Switchboards, Circuit Bre...Living Online
THE WORKSHOP:
Whether you are designing, specifying, installing, testing or commissioning electrical equipment from small to large commercial and industrial installations, you need to have a thorough understanding of switchboards, switchgear, circuit breakers and associated protective relays.
The overall focus of this workshop is on electrical inspection, testing and commissioning and will commence with a detailed examination of switchgear (and circuit breakers). Circuit breakers are critical components in electrical distribution systems and their operation significantly affects the overall operation of the system. Protection relays are then discussed. These are used in power systems to maximise continuity of supply and are found in both small and large power systems from generation, through transmission, distribution and utilisation of power in plant, industrial and commercial equipment.
We cover commissioning and periodic inspection of cables and their various failure modes and how to detect these faults. The often neglected topic of switchboards will be detailed next, followed by the interesting topic of interfacing to the control system (either PLC’s or other control devices).
Case studies and practical sessions are used throughout to illustrate key practical principles.
This workshop covers key elements in a practical and project focused way. Many people assume (wrongly) that inspecting, testing and commissioning is a fairly straightforward process and is simply a rubber stamp confirmation of a so-called outstanding design. Our experience in the field demonstrates quite the opposite; where the litany of problems ranges from design and installation errors to equipment manufacturing defects. It is best that these problems are identified and corrected before the inevitable downtime comes in an operational installation where many thousands of dollars are lost in correcting the faults. The situation today is made more challenging by the heightened safety requirements and interfacing to low powered electronic control and monitoring devices (such as PLC’s) using software that has to also be verified.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

3. Definitions
PV (Process Variable) - Variable we want to control.
MV (Manipulated Variable) – Variable to manipulate(to control the PV)
Simple controllers – OP – controller output signal
SP(Set Point Value) – Target / Ideal Process Variable
Disturbances
Other random inputs to the process may be measured and predicted
Hysteresis
Output reaction delays to a stimulus response based on direction of approach
Multivariate
Systems based on more than one PV may also have more than one
MV (OP)
www.idc-online.com/slideshare Technology TTrraaiinniinngg tthhaatt WWoorrkkss
4. On/Off Control
Good where fluctuations of PV are acceptable
Wear/tear of controlling element is a problem
Increase band of PV to reduce switching action
Output of controller is a digital signal
www.idc-online.com/slideshare Technology TTrraaiinniinngg tthhaatt WWoorrkkss
5. Response of a Two Positional Controller
www.idc-online.com/slideshare Technology TTrraaiinniinngg tthhaatt WWoorrkkss
6. Simple on/off Control
Enables a very simple form of temperature control
Common form is a domestic gas-fired heater
www.idc-online.com/slideshare Technology TTrraaiinniinngg tthhaatt WWoorrkkss
7. Modulating Control
Output of the controller is an analog value
Not digital value as in on/off control
Can be used in open or closed loop control
Use when more precise control of PV required
Less hysteresis (band) of PV variation
www.idc-online.com/slideshare Technology TTrraaiinniinngg tthhaatt WWoorrkkss
8. Open Loop Control
Control action is not a direct function of PV
No self-correction when the PV drifts
Allows pre-emptive reaction to disturbance
Control is based on measured disturbances
(E.g. Feedforward control)
www.idc-online.com/slideshare Technology TTrraaiinniinngg tthhaatt WWoorrkkss
9. Simple Process Block
PV changes are a function of the control action
www.idc-online.com/slideshare Technology TTrraaiinniinngg tthhaatt WWoorrkkss
10. Open Loop Control
Control Action = Position of Accelerator
Control result = Speed of Car
BUT: Speed could vary with changing load
Identify – Disturbances, PV, MV
www.idc-online.com/slideshare Technology TTrraaiinniinngg tthhaatt WWoorrkkss
11. Feedforward Control
Form of Open loop control
Value to be controlled (PV) is not used to calculate the
control action
Basic principle is:
Manipulate a variable of the process block so that it
compensates for impact of any input disturbances.
www.idc-online.com/slideshare Technology TTrraaiinniinngg tthhaatt WWoorrkkss
15. Feedforward Control
Objective is to keep level constant
Manipulated variable = inlet valve position
Control strategy: Inlet flow = Outlet flow
If Feedforward control is the only control
PV will drift over time
Because of:
Natural Evaporation
Delay in valve positioning etc.
