Advances in Data-Driven Modeling, Fault Detection, and Fault Identification: Applications to Chemical Processes

Advances in Data-Driven Modeling, Fault Detection, and Fault Identification: Applications to Chemical Processes presents a comprehensive collection of research focused on data-driven modeling techniques for robust modeling, fault detection, and fault identification in chemical processes. This accessible guide caters to both academic and industrial researchers seeking to enhance their work with data-driven methodologies. The book begins with an overview of key methods, emphasizing their significance in research and industry applications. Chapters delve into various chemical processes, such as the Tennessee Eastman Process and a Fischer-Tropsch bench scale setup, to validate and compare the discussed techniques. The content is organized into three main categories: Basic and advanced robust empirical techniques Prominent empirical statistical charts for detecting faults in multivariate systems Conventional and novel, multiclass classification, machine-learning techniques for accurately distinguishing between different fault types in batch or real-time scenarios Whether a researcher or practitioner, this book is an essential resource for leveraging data-driven approaches in chemical engineering fields.
