Research of Process Control Methods Using Microcontrollers

The monograph examines the state of automatic control of primary oil refining processes and, on the basis of a comprehensive analysis, defines the goal and objectives of the study. A rectification column was taken as the object of research.A review of the main types of industrial installations for primary oil refining, which, first of all, include installations for atmospheric, vacuum and atmospheric-vacuum tubulars, is carried out. The principle of operation of executive mechanisms, converters and intelligent sensors is considered. The main attention is paid to the use of microcontroller technology in primary oil refining.
