In last month’s column [“Automatic Pumpdown Systems,” Nov. 5], we talked in general about the automatic pumpdown cycle and why it is the only sure remedy for refrigerant migration to a compressor ...

Dynamic optimisation and model predictive control (MPC) are at the forefront of modern process systems engineering, offering robust methodologies to address the challenges posed by time-varying ...

Process-control environments are under constant threat from cyberattacks, internal threats, and even simple vandalism. Designers need to consider the spectrum of threats and hardening strategies, from ...

Across the semiconductor industry, both FD-SOI and finFET transistor technologies are in high volume production, with IC manufacturers looking to extend both technologies to gain additional ...

These networks aren’t well known by many, yet they’re responsible for controlling much in our lives. And they’re not very secure. What are the most powerful networks in the world? Those that run the ...

Computerized process-control systems run some of the most critical infrastructures in the U.S., such as power utilities, water treatment plants, chemical plants and mass-transit systems. Until ...
