Abstract
This entry provides an overview of the so-called control pyramid, which organizes the different types of control tasks in a processing plant in a set of interconnected layers, from basic control and instrumentation to plant-wide economic optimization. These layers have different functions, all of them necessary for the optimal functioning of large processing plants.
