It is an object of the present invention to provide a system and method for monitoring, dosing and distribution of a chemical composition in a material treatment process, the chemical composition containing at least one additive for maintaining quality of the chemical treatment process. The system and method include: at least one chemical containing unit configured to contain the chemical composition for the chemical treatment process; a dosing unit fluidly communicating with the at least one chemical containing unit configured to receive the chemical composition therefrom and to add a selected dose of the at least one additive to the chemical composition therein; an online monitor configured to monitor a property of the chemical composition at the dosing unit and to transmit a signal corresponding to the monitored property; and a controller programmed and configured to receive the signal from the online monitor and send a signal to the dosing system to add the selected dose to the chemical composition therein in response to the monitored property.
摘要:
Chemical treatment process control, including a virtual sensor based upon artificial intelligence that automatically computes and predicts additive concentrations in chemical baths used in manufacturing to compensate for the lag time in obtaining data from real-time analyzers (RTA). Once actual measurement data is obtained, bath concentrations can be further adjusted if necessary. Also disclosed is the retrofitting of a RTA with a controller where the data signal from the RTA has a proprietary communication protocol that is converted by hardware and/or software into a signal having an open communication protocol for transmission to the controller for controlling electrochemical bath concentration. Further disclosed is a method of controlling chemical concentration of electrochemical baths by predicting the depletion of chemicals during manufacture and causing dosing and/or draining of a portion of the bath during the time delay between RTA analyses. An algorithm written into program language and compiled into an executable format can be used in the controllers.
