Topic Description
The morning session will begin with the subject of vacuum system basics including vacuum classification (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) followed by an overview of vacuum system design fundamentals including: Proper line sizing guidelines, Leakage estimation guidelines, discussion of condensibles vs. non-condensibles on vacuum system capabilities, Draw-down alternatives. An overview of the various types of vacuum systems will be discussed including the advantages/disadvantages of each type: liquid-ring, rotary dry-run, steam jets, air jets, hybrid systems. Vacuum system controls options will be discussed including vendor provided PLCs and DCS controls and PLC-DCS interface options. Various system configurations and latest design alternatives will be discussed including examples.
Topic Description
The afternoon session will begin with the subject of Automatic Process Control (APC) followed by the subject of Multi-Variable Process Control (MVPC). An overview of APC controls configuration will provided including the advantages of APC. The latest APC controls options will be discussed with examples. An overview of MVPC controls configuration will provided including the advantages of MVPC.
