This is a manuscript for a PLC based control system book that is currently being used for teaching an undergraduate controls course [url=http://claymore.engineer.gvsu.edu/eod/egr450.html] EGR 450 - Manufacturing Controls [/url]. The course and book focus on the Allen Bradley family of controllers, thus allowing a deeper topic coverage than is normal in PLC books.

PREFACE:
This handbook is has been compiled to give readers with an interested in the oil and
gas production industry an overview of the main processes and equipment. When I
started to search for a suitable introduction to be used for new engineers, I
discovered that much of this equipment is described in standards, equipment manuals
and project documentation. But little material was found to quickly give the reader
an overview of the entire upstream area, while still preserving enough detail to let the
engineer get an appreciation of the main characteristics and design issues.,
This book is by no means a comprehensive description on the detailed design of any
part of this process, and many details have been omitted in the interest of overview. I
have included some comments on the control issues, since that is part of my own
background. For the same reason, the description will be somewhat biased toward
the offshore installations.
The material has been compiled form various online sources as well as ABB and
customer documents. I am thankful to my colleagues in the industry for providing
valuable input, in particular Erik Solbu of Norsk Hydro for the Njord process and
valuable comments. I have included many photos to give the reader an impression
what typical facilities or equipment look like. Non-ABB photo source given below
picture other pictures and illustrations are ABB.

Control valves are an increasingly vital component of modern manufacturing around
the world. Well–selected and maintained control valves increase efficiency, safety,
profitability, and ecology.
The Control Valve Handbook has been a primary reference for more than 30 years.
This third edition is a complete revision and update that includes vital information on
control valve performance and the latest technologies.
