Advanced Process Control and Information Systems Handbook
This handbook-type industry reference source is produced biennially by the staff of Hydrocarbon Processing magazine. Licensors have provided flow diagrams and descriptions of major process control and information systems technologies. It is unique in that it shows how these technologies are applied to specific HPI processes and plants. The Handbook has become the user reference when implementing these advanced control and information system projects in the hydrocarbon processing industry (HPI).
