Process Control and Instrumentation

  • Course will cover areas pertaining to the instrumentation, basic concept of control system and components (sensors, input/output elements, controllers, final control elements) of surface facilities. Specific instrumentation and controls for pressure, temperature, flow, level, density, control valve, and field data acquisition systems will be covered. This course will go on to explain the basic working principles, measuring devices, operations, and specifications of surface facilities.

Learning Outcomes

    • Operate the most common measuring process parameters
    • Demonstrate the ability to properly set up a transmitter to measure pressure, flow, level and temperature
    • Define and apply control concepts including self-regulating and non-self-regulating processes, positive/negative feedback and process time constant
