Expert systems in the process industries (original) (raw)
1992
This paper gives an overview of industrial applications of real-time knowledge based expert systems (KBES's) in the process industries. After a brief overview of the features of a KBES useful in process applications, the general roles of KBES's are covered. A particular focus is diagnostic applications, one of the major applications areas. Many applications are seen as an expansion of supervisory control. The lessons learned from numerous online applications are summarized.

Developing Expert System for Remote Monitoring Operations
Petrochemical producers face lot of pressures to perform efficiently in a specified time constraint. This pressure increases the revenues and decreases the operating cost with reduced on-site domain expertise which results in missing the targets and losing the opportunities. This can be improved by using performance analysis via advanced technologies. The results of a simulation model of Platforming process for online monitoring are analyzed for the deviations. An attempt is made to apply expert system for the diagnosis of the failures in remotely monitored operations for chemical process. An Expert System is a computer program that simulates the thought process of a human expert to solve complex decision problems in a specific domain. Expert systems are expected to grow continuously for several years. The significance of the present study is to reduce the number of candidates for the real causes which would occur. By using expert system, one can reduce the searching process to the extent of being practically feasible. Developing expert system makes an operator to understand and identify the real causes for the failures of the simulation process.
