Michael Brown is holding a series of his well-known courses on practical process control in Johannesburg, and Richards Bay. The courses are unique and are invaluable to novices, as well as to experienced practitioners in the field of regulatory control optimisation. The series consists of three courses:
'Introduction and appreciation of practical process control' (one day)
This is for non-instrument people who work in process plants, but have no previous experience or practical training in control, like process engineers, operators, production managers, metallurgists, and chemical engineers. (This is being presented only in the Johannesburg series).
'Practical process control Part 1: troubleshooting and loop tuning' (three days)
This is for instrument and control personnel like mechanicians, technicians, and engineers. Even people with years of experience in this field have found great benefit in attending this course.
'Practical process control Part 2: control techniques for more difficult processes' (two days)
This course deals with control of processes with difficult dynamics, and techniques such as feedforward. Most people taking Part 1 also take Part 2 in the same session. It is mandatory that Part 1 be completed before Part 2. The course series will take place in Johannesburg starting on Friday 18 July, and in Richards Bay on Monday 9 June.

When tuning noisy loops, we recommend in our courses that one should eliminate the noise by editing it out, so the tuning will be done only on the true process response, free of any noise. The controller is controlling the process, and is not controlling the noise.
