Appendix B: Enhanced Process Control

Ratio Control

A chemical process requires a formula of two parts Water (H

2

O) to one

part Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) to produce diluted Potassium
Hydroxide. The desired flow of H

2

O is 10 gallons per second (gps), and

the KOH should be 5 gps. Each chemical has a pipe feeding a common
pipe. The flow rate of each feeder pipe is measured and supplied to a
4CLS, with H

2

O flow as PV1 and KOH flow as PV2. The outputs of

loops 1 and 2 adjust motorized valves.

1) Adjust and tune Loop 1 (H

2

O) for optimal performance before

implementing the Ratio setup.

2) Switch the controller to display loop 2 (KOH), and then enter the 3-

key sequence to display the following:
