PCEGN554

Process Control Systems – PCEGN554 was withdrawn April 2023.

Abstract ↓

This Practice addresses the processes required to successfully implement Process Control Systems for refinery and petrochemical services. This Practice is divided into three parts, each focusing on a major aspect of Process Control Systems:

Part 1: Process Control System Functions and Functional Specifications, covers the basic functions that a Process Control System may need to perform, and describes recommended methodologies for determining the functional and integration requirements for a particular application.
Part 2: Process Control System Design, covers the hardware and software applied to Process Control Systems and provides recommendations for implementation. Design considerations and references to design practices for control centers and other control system buildings and enclosures are also provided.
Part 3: Process Control System Project Execution and Ownership, covers project organization, skills and work processes required to execute a process control project and then to own and operate a Process Control System.
