Process Dynamics, Operations, and Control (MIT 10.450)
by Barry S. Johnston · MIT OpenCourseWare
Modeling the static and dynamic behavior of chemical processes, then control strategies: design of feedback, feedforward and other control structures and their application to process equipment. Includes detailed lecture notes and problem sets, enough to design basic control schemes for real units.

Website of Chemical Engineering magazine, a trade publication from Access Intelligence covering separations, heat transfer, automation, water treatment and solids handling. Useful for plant-practice news and equipment reference; much editorial content sits behind a paid membership, and some articles are sponsored.
Process Dynamics and Control
Standard undergraduate chemical engineering textbook on dynamic modeling, transfer functions, feedback and feedforward control, PID tuning, stability analysis, and model predictive control. Readers learn to model process dynamics and design control loops for industrial processes.
Chemical Process Control
Classic 1984 textbook covering process modeling, Laplace-domain dynamic analysis, feedback controller design, frequency response, and multivariable and computer control. Readers learn to analyze process behavior and design control systems for chemical plants.
Process Control: Modeling, Design, and Simulation
Textbook that teaches process control through modeling and simulation, using MATLAB and Simulink for dynamic analysis, PID and internal model control, cascade and feedforward schemes, and model predictive control. Readers learn to build process models and test controller designs numerically.
