A continuous evaporator process is shown in Fig. Q2a. The liquid feed is heated
by an external steam-fed reboiler.
(a) Show how the process could be fully controlled by creating a properly
annotated P&ID of the process using Fig. Q2a as a basis. You should aim
to specify four separate control loops.
(12)
(b) Briefly overview the rationale of operation of each control loop that you
have specified.
(4)
(c) The dynamic performance of one of the control loops under a step-change
in set-point occurring at 08:00 is represented in Fig. Q2b. The process
variable is shown as a percentage. For each of the performance metrics
below determine the numerical value and explain what the features of the
response the metric describes.
i) Overshoot. (3)
ii) Settling time. (4)
iii) Time to first peak. (2)
