From Lee's Loss Prevention in the Process Industries,: Hazard Identification, Assessment and Control, Volume 1, Third Edition
Overview
The operation of the plant according to specified conditions is an important aspect of loss prevention. This is very largely a matter of keeping the system under control and preventing deviations. The control system, which includes both the process instrumentation and the process operator, therefore has a crucial role to play. Selected references on process control are given in Table 13.1.
