The purpose of a surge drum level control is to dampen the changes in controlled flow and keep the liquid level in the vessel between limits. For surge drums, it is generally more important to allow levels to "float" in order to minimize flow rate variations. Surge drums are frequently located between process units to help reduce the effect of flow rate variations between interconnected process units. A low surge drum level can result in a reduced capacity while a high level can cause liquid carryover. In an application characterized by alternating inertia and turbulence, stable level output is highly desirable. A distributed control system (DCS) is a platform for automated control and operation of a plant or industrial process. A DCS combines the following into a single automated system: human-machine interface (HMI), logic solvers, historian, common database, alarm management, and a common engineering suite. Centum CS3000 is one of the commonly used DCS in many industries as it exhibits high reliability and more secure. Over 10,000 plants entrust Yokogawa's DCS to deliver their production goals. his paper presents the detailed study of the feature of Yokogawa DCS, development of a control strategy making use of lambda tuning which works effectively in controlling level in the surge drum and the implementation of the control strategy in Yokogawa centum CS3000 DCS.
