PH control is a difficult problem due to the highly non-linear nature of the system. The steep slope of the titration curve around the pH = 7 point amplifies pH variations for even small base/acid addition variations. The pH control rig in the PMC lab illustrates that pH control is by no means impossible (albeit on a laboratory scale).
