usually a control valve, which has been identified as often the limiting element in improving performance of_x000D_
the control loop. Wave Control System (WCS) is developing a new generation of control valve with metering_x000D_
function to satisfy the metering requirement of crude oil and other fluids with various viscosity. Compared to_x000D_
the conventional valve, the proposed control valve with metering functions reduces the cost of installation_x000D_
significantly. In this project, a process model and control algorithm will be developed to enable WCS to_x000D_
complete development of the first stage of their flow and/or viscosity metering device. Successful completion_x000D_
of this project will improve the control loop performance and reduce the installation cost of sensors, actuators_x000D_
and associated pipelines. This will find essential applications in the Canadian process industry including oil_x000D_
and gas extraction, refinery and chemical industry for improved production efficiency and product quality., program purpose french : In most process industry applications such as chemical and petroleum processes, the final control element is_x000D_
