Process Control Case Histories: An Insightful and Humorous Perspective from the Control Room

by Gregory K. McMillan

With a dose of humor to sweeten a serious message, noted control systems author Greg McMillan offers an experienced-based guide to what can so often go wrong with the systems that measure, regulate, and control industrial processes-from pH measurements to temperature and pressure monitors to process interlock problems. Using anecdotes, dialogue and dramatized skits, the book helps make more vivid the abstract concepts of how control systems actually do-or don't-work in real industrial settings.

This book was recommended to me by an old school engineer my first year in automation. It has now been several years and I still refer it to green hands. While it won’t teach you anything new if you’re an experienced technician. It is filled with good humor and helps you look at things in a new light and get that critical thinking going regardless of where you at in your career.
