Abstract

This expanded new edition is specifically designed to meet the needs of the process industry, and closes the gap between theory and practice.

Back-to-basics approach, with a focus on techniques that have an immediate practical application, and heavy maths relegated to the end of the book
Written by an experienced practitioner, highly regarded by major corporations, with 25 years of teaching industry courses
Supports the increasing expectations for Universities to teach more practical process control (supported by IChemE)
