Measurement and Control of Chemical, Food and Biotechnological Processes - Volume I Process Measurement

The book by K. Kadlec, M. Kmínek, P. Kadlec, and colleagues presents an English version of a successful Czech publication on the measurement and control of chemical, food, and biotechnological processes. It addresses essential topics in the fields of measurement and regulation within these industries. The text emphasizes that only measurable parameters can be efficiently controlled, highlighting the necessity for technologists to grasp the fundamentals of automatic control systems, which are increasingly integral to both industrial and laboratory settings. This work serves as a valuable resource for anyone seeking professional knowledge in process measurement and control across various sectors, including chemical, food, biotechnological, and pharmaceutical industries. It aims to provide foundational information for students, professionals, and operational personnel. Volume I focuses on Process Measurement, covering basic concepts, measurement instruments, data acquisition, and uncertainties. It details the measurement of temperature, pressure, level, flow, weight, humidity, composition, and particle size. Volume II delves into Process Control, discussing mathematical modeling, simulation, and control systems. It explores logic control, batch process management, computer control systems, and advanced control methods, along with practical applications in food technology, biotechnology, and chemical production.
