"Process Control Performance Assessment" is a guide to the application of control benchmarking to industrial processes. It presents commercial solutions and techniques still under development and contains real industrial case studies from the oil and gas, power and chemical industries. The effect of benchmarking and control tuning on process performance and revenue optimisation is demonstrated.

Practical issues to do with implementing benchmarking algorithms in industrial processes are covered in detail and guidelines for avoiding common problems given. The impact of problems like valve stiction and plant-wide disturbances on process performance is reviewed and methods for diagnosing causative fault conditions suggested.

The benefits of using benchmarking techniques for optimising control systems are increased throughput and product quality. The book is appropriate for industrial and academic control and process engineers wishing to learn about methods of benchmarking through directed study or self study.

Industry Reviews

From the reviews:

Overall the book is well written. An excellent feature is that detailed step-by-step procedures are given, which can be a good user's guide. Extensive simulation and industrial examples are cited to illustrate the algorithms. This book provides a good balance between academic and engineering aspects. Academic researchers, graduate students and industrial practitioners, who are interested in the general areas of control performance monitoring, business performance benchmarking, control system or instrument problem diagnosis, will find this book a useful reference.

IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control (2008) (Reviewers: Biao Huang and Fei Qi)

"Part of Springer's Advances in Industrial Control series, Process Control Performance Assessment meets the objective of unifying past work in the title area. ... Overall the book accomplishes its ostensible purpose. ... the current piece is a nice addition to the process control library. Any interested academic researchers from this area should strongly consider purchasing it." (J. Douglas Barrett, Technometrics, Vol. 50 (1), 2008)
