DCS and chemical process automation
Thread Content
I’m about to graduate from university, and I want to write a review paper on DCS control systems and chemical process automation. Could you all advise me on where I should start working on this?
There’s no other way; you just need to consult more materials. Most schools have access to the Wanfang Database, which contains dissertations and academic papers. You can look for some review articles as references
Original poster, if your field of study is related to automation, I think it’s necessary to carry out actual operations in this area; merely studying relevant materials doesn’t provide much help for understanding automation. It’s similar to the requirement that graduates in software engineering must create at least a semi-finished product as part of their graduation project. I suggest you get in touch with the laboratories related to your field of study, or those specializing in chemical process automation, or process control engineering – all of these areas are related to automation； There’s another option: if the original poster finds a job, they can apply to work full-time while working on their thesis, it just depends on whether they can manage to arrange their time properly
The materials can be organized from the following aspects; it would be even better to be on site to attend the commissioning if possible: 1. Characteristics of DCS 2. Chemical processing processes 3. Requirements for process control 4. Number of I/O points and system configuration 5. Implementation of control strategies 6. Several process flow diagrams 7. Conclusion
When learning DCS, you need to consider what your job involves. What kind of information do you mainly need? It depends on the area – the requirements for operators differ from those for DCS maintenance. If you’re working in programming, then different knowledge is required
Look, tell me what you need; maybe I can help you
