This chapter outlines a systematic methodology for designing multiunit controllers in chemical processes, focusing on essential steps such as identifying process objectives and constraints, evaluating significant disturbances, and implementing effective sensor and control valve placements. It includes strategies for degree-of-freedom analysis, energy management, production rate control, and inventory management. The case studies of a splitter and a recycle reactor illustrate practical applications of these principles, showcasing how to select manipulated variables and develop constraint handling strategies for process optimization.
