“pH measurement and control is critical for food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and many chemical products, as well as water quality and waste treatment. It represents an important variable for many processes, yet it is often the most difficult to control. A proper understanding prepares automation professionals to grapple with precipitous responses and difficult diagnostics and build an intuition for solving problems that might otherwise seem intractable.”
-Greg McMillan
In this new fourth edition of Advanced pH Measurement and Control: Digital Twin Synergy and Advances in Technology, authors Gregory K. McMillan, Christopher Stuart, Dean Cook, and Zachary Sample offer knowledge of key principles and advances in electrode technology and diagnostics. Readers will delve deep into the intricacies of a largely unrealized, simple method of computing titration curves that match laboratory curves, and selecting and implementing the best control valves and control strategies.
Available in print and e-book formats, this essential resource thoroughly discusses key insights, rules of thumb, and best practices to help users easily focus on essential takeaways. Despite the many challenges, the results can be a significant reduction in equipment costs and, more importantly, a remarkable improvement in system reliability and performance.
System design, installation, maintenance, and continuous improvement are explained in detail, with emphasis on the roles the digital twin and first principle charge balance play in increasing innovation, operability, productivity, reliability, and maintainability. Finally, the appendices discuss the essential fundamentals of first principles and provide guidance on using new PID control features that enable greater achievements in minimizing project costs and maximizing process efficiency, capacity, and safety.
