Qualitative Modeling for Fault Diagnosis Based on Physical Knowledge and Historical Operation Data under Normal Operating Condition

Fault diagnosis is a critical task in the daily operation of chemical processes. In this paper, a hybrid fault diagnosis method is proposed that combines a process-knowledge-based qualitative reasoning technique with fault detection based on a …

The Role of Big Data in Industrial (Bio)chemical Process Operations

With the emergence of Industry 4.0 and Big Data initiatives, there is a renewed interest in leveraging the vast amounts of data collected in (bio)chemical processes to improve their operations. The objective of this article is to provide a …

Physical-Principle Based Extended Attributes for Process Fault Detection

Process monitoring is of importance to maintain process safety, reliability, performance and cost efficiency. This work presents a hybrid fault detection approach that combines process knowledge such as first-principles and process causal relations …

Batch Process Monitoring Based on Fuzzy Segmentation of Multivariate Time-Series

This paper proposes a novel batch process monitoring method called adjoined time series principal component analysis (AdTsPCA). In this method, a modified GG clustering is used for phase identification and data segmentation and multiple time-ordered …

Knowledge-based attributes generation for data-driven fault diagnosis in process systems

Data-driven approaches to fault detection and isolation are widely used for various process systems. The purpose of this paper is to present a new method to improve the performance of fault diagnosis of chemical plant. This method combines simple …

Fault Detection in Chemical Processes Using Discriminant Analysis and Control Chart

This paper presents a fault detection methodology based on the Fisher discriminant analysis (FDA) and individuals control charts (XmR control charts). As the first step, FDA is used to find the optimal discriminant direction between the normal …

Discriminant analysis and control chart for the fault detection and identification

This paper proposes a new fault detection method using an absolute-value based Fisher discriminant analysis combined with the individuals and moving range chart. Two fault identification methods are also proposed by using the discriminant model, …

Dimensionality reduction in computer-aided decision making

Two methods for reducing dimensions in order to address the classification problem are shown here. Both methods are filters using information gain ratio to select feature subset from the original data. These methods are applied to fault detection for …
