Application of Process Systems Engineering to Plant Operation and Control

摘要

Process Systems Engineering (PSE) has made progress as a new discipline to establish theories and methods for decision making at all the stages of plant life cycle (planning, design, management, operation, control and maintenance of process systems). Recently the main research field of PSE has been shifted from process design to plant operation and control in response to the change in needs of chemical process industries. This paper reviews the key technologies of PSE and their applications to industrial chemical plants, and touches upon some difficult problems and further development.
