Plant Automation & Process Control
This course equips professionals with the knowledge and tools to understand, design, and implement automation and control systems in process plants, ensuring efficiency, reliability, and safety.
Description
The Plant Automation & Process Control course provides a structured exploration of process plant design, instrumentation, and control. Participants learn how process data is measured, monitored, and managed through diagrams, instruments, and distributed control systems. Advanced modules cover feedback and feedforward control, cascade and ratio strategies, as well as historian databases for plant data management. With case studies and industry examples, the course bridges fundamental concepts and real-world applications, empowering professionals to improve system reliability and plant performance.
Automation has become the backbone of efficient and safe plant operations in the modern process industry. From instrumentation to distributed control systems, mastering automation principles allows professionals to optimize processes, minimize downtime, and enhance operational safety. This self-paced program from PEA provides industry practitioners with a clear understanding of automation frameworks, instrumentation, and control strategies, supported by applied exercises and case studies. Learners walk away with a strong foundation that strengthens both technical knowledge and workplace decision-making.
