Process systems engineering increasing profitability

The GasTran deaeration system delivered ultra-low dissolved oxygen in the process water, which enabled the bottling line to produce consistent car-bonation to our fill lines, increase plant capacity and improve profitability . Rob Schlafer, Director of Engineering, PepsiAmericas East Group. 

In view of the increased emphasis placed on safe, efficient plant operation, it is only natural that the subject of process control has become increasingly important in recent years. Without computer-based process control systems it would be impossible to operate modern plants safely and profitably while satisfying product quality and environmental requirements. Thus, it is important for chemical engineers to have an understanding of both the theory and practice of process control.
