Process Control: Bridging Academic and Industry Together examines control engineering challenges in chemical engineering through the lens of academic researchers, plant engineers, and control system vendors. Covering a wide array of topicsfrom PID tuning and hybrid control strategies to alarm management and advanced ratio controlthis book equips readers with a comprehensive understanding of both theoretical and practical aspects of control engineering, exploring areas such as feedforward control, multi-loop systems, and energy production optimization. Control systems vendors will gain insights into strategies for minimizing the science-industry gap, while students will discover what knowledge and skills are essential in the industry.
By fostering collaboration among these diverse groups, the book aims to inspire innovative solutions that can be effectively implemented in real-world settings, making it a must-read for young academic scientists eager to grasp the industrial challenges they will face. Plant engineers seeking to leverage the latest academic research in their work will also find the content to be informative. Each contributor in the book shares valuable insights into their experiences, addressing real-world problems and innovative solutions that will help shape industrial practice.

Quo vadis control engineering a.d. MMXXV?
Pawe D. Domaski was born in 1967 in Warsaw, Poland. He received the M.Sc. degree in 1991, the Ph.D. degree in 1996, the D.Sc. degree in 2018, and ProfTit in 2024, all in control engineering, from the Warsaw University of Technology. Since 1991 he has been working at the Institute of Control and Computational Engineering, Warsaw University of Technology. Besides scientific research, he has participated in dozens of industrial implementations of Advanced Process Control (APC) and optimization in power and chemical industries. He is the (co-)author of three books and more than 150 publications. His main research interest is in industrial APC applications, control performance quality assessment and optimization. Currently, his research interest is shifting towards multi-agent modelling in the supply chain management environment.
