In this ControlGlobal.com article, The unrecognized challenges of process control, process automation Hall of Famer Greg McMillan poses as mentor and mentee, asking and answering some challenges that process control engineers face.
Greg McMillan wins best paper/presentation in his category for his Control Valve Modeling and Control entry. Here are 33 best practices that Greg shares from the paper.
March 12-16, is a face-to-face meeting in Houston, Texas, the 2023 Spring Meeting and 19th Global Congress on Process Safety. Some of the Emerson presenters and topics include: Jacob Tardoni—Mapping an Evacuation in Real-Time: Digital Mustering with Wireless Personnel Location Technology; Greg McMillan—Best Practices in Column Control Distilled, and Control Valve Response Modeling and Control.
Five important process control articles by Greg McMillan are now again available to help your advance your process control knowledge.
Emerson’s Greg McMillan and CMiD Solutions’ Mark Darby discuss the best practices in distillation column composition control strategies. Right from the opening of the part one article, you can get a good sense of the technical depth and experience shared by both Greg and Mark.
Here is a 5-part series on ControlGlobal.com by Process Automation Hall of Fame member Greg McMillan, The concealed PID revealed.
pH control can be extremely challenging due to exceptional nonlinearity and sensitivity particularly when strong acids and strong bases are used. Advances in electrode design and signal selection can greatly help. The need to reduce oscillations from valve resolution limit and backlash can be addressed by valve design and use of a PID feature.
Emerson’s Greg McMillan, teaming with Christopher Stuart, Rehman Fazeem, Zachary Sample and Timothy Schieffer have updated and revised the 2nd edition of the book, New Directions in Bioprocess Modeling and Control.
Control valve response is a critical factor in successful control strategies and process variability. In a ControlGlobal.com article, Responsible control valve response, Emerson’s Greg McMillan and James Beall discussed the efforts underway to include valve responsiveness into the ISA 75.25 Control Valve Dynamic Testing standard.
Greg McMillan’s presentation, Process Effects on Control explores how various process types affect objectives, tuning, and performance. Greg opened noting that control loops have many different objectives.
At Texas A&M University’s Mary Kay O’Connor Process Safety Center’s 76th Instrumentation and Automation Symposium, Emerson’s Greg McMillan presented on Bioreactor Control and Optimization using Digital Twin technology.
El mejor control de procesos en términos de habilidad para mejorar la eficiencia operacional y la capacidad, requiere un entendimiento de las relaciones del proceso y su efecto en las condiciones de operación establecidas por el sistema de automatización.
