Automation in the chemical industry – scope and limitations . Tempestuous developments in semiconductor technology centering upon the microprocessor open up new possibilities of automation in chemical engineering. The traditional appearance of process control rooms is changing drastically. A few video display units with uniform keyboards suffice to monitor and control an extensive chemical plant. In spite of all technical perfection, automation has its limitations wherever unavoidable irregularities require human intervention. This in turn requires that one is in command of both the process and the function of the automatic mechanism.
