    摘要: A method for online condition-based monitoring (CBM) of a tank farm including a plurality of storage tanks includes providing a tank model including a diagnostic and/or predictive tank model based on calculated tank metrics that is derived from historical data including tank operation data. The calculated tank metrics include tank operational metrics based on the tank operational data for the storage tanks and tank condition metrics based on tank inspection or maintenance data for the storage tanks. The tank model provides relationships between the tank condition metrics and the tank operational metrics. Results are generated using the tank model including at least one failure indicia for at least a first of the storage tanks using the calculated tank metrics and current measured data for the first tank as inputs to the tank model. The failure indicia is processed for scheduling at least one maintenance task for the first tank.

    摘要: Methods (100), algorithms, and implementing systems (200) for guided annotation of process deviations by an individual responsible for annotations (e.g. process operator) for a manufacturing process having an associated computing system (210) including a historical database (stored in memory 219). The historical database is provided (101) including data associated with a plurality of process performance measures including stored deviations for the plurality of process measures, stored quantitative deviation attributes thereof and at least one cause associated with each of the stored deviations process performance measures. The method includes the individual responsible for annotation selecting at least one present deviation (D) to be annotated responsive to a deviation in a target process performance measure (T) selected from the plurality of process measures (102). Automatically, the stored quantitative attributes associated with D, T, and a target value or target interval for T are retrieved (103). The database is searched to identify a plurality of similar deviations from the stored deviations determined to be similar to D and the plurality of similar deviations are statistically processed to generate a listing indicating a relative likelihood of the at least one cause associated with the plurality of similar deviations (104). The listing is presented to the individual to prompt selection of at least one present cause for D from the cause(s) associated with the plurality of similar deviations (105).

    摘要: A method for automatically monitoring the performance of equipment (100) includes the step (101) of compiling current operating conditions including at least one current sensor reading and at least one current performance measurement associated with the current conditions (PMc). A historical database including a plurality of stored operating conditions is searched (102), each stored operating condition including at least one stored sensor reading and at least one associated stored performance measure (PM*), wherein at least one similar operating condition is identified in the search using distances between the current operating conditions and the plurality of stored operating conditions. The performance measure associated with the similar operating condition is fit to generate a regression model (103). The regression model is applied to the current operating condition (104) to generate a model estimate for the performance measure for the current operating condition (PMe). A first difference between PMc and said PMe is computed (105). The first difference is compared to a predetermined threshold, wherein a warning is automatically generated if the first difference has a value greater than the predetermined threshold (106).

    摘要: In a process control system, the hidden properties of a catalyst are estimated by including those properties in hidden states within a state space model and solving the state space model based on measurable inputs and outputs of the process. The process may include defining a state space model for a process having a catalyst state comprising a hidden catalyst property; defining a set of empirically measurable input variables for the state space model, defining a set of output variables for the state space model, measuring a set of input values corresponding to the set of input variables; measuring a set of output values corresponding to the set of output variables; and estimating the hidden catalyst property based on the input values, the output values, and the state space model.
