Control loop configurations for chemical process variables
The different control loop configurations for different process variables are given below.Its just the simplest configurations used in control systems.
1. Level control.
Figure: On-off level control loop.
Figure. Control loops for continuous level control.
a - by the control of an inlet stream; b - by the control of an outlet stream;
c - cascade control loop.
Figure: Level control in evaporator.
2. Pressure control
Figure: Pressure control loop for evaporating unit.
1, 2 - evaporating units; 3 - barometric condenser.
Figure: Pressure control in the distillation column.
1 - distillation column; 2 - reflux column; 3 - reflux tank;
3. Temperature control

4. Flow control
Figure: Flow control by throttling the stream after the centrifugal pump.
Figure: Flow control using by-pass pipe-line in the case of the piston pump.
5. pH control
