Abstract

This work focuses on runaway behaviour of industrial catalytic tube-reactor and presents how decision trees can be used for forecasting the runaway. The steady-state simulator of the reactor and runaway criterion based on Ljapunov's indirect stability analysis have been used to generate the database used by the decision tree induction algorithm. The extracted logical rules can be used in an operator support system (OSS), and are useful for working out safe operating strategies.

Decision tree based qualitative analysis of operating regimes in industrial production processes
2008, Computer Aided Chemical Engineering
The qualitative analysis of comp lex process systems is an im portant task at the design of control and process monitoring algorithm s. Qualitative models require interpretable description of the operating regimes of the process. This work shows a novel approach to discover and isolate operating regimes of process systems based on process models, time series analysis, and decision tree induction technique. The novelty of this approach is the application of time series segmentat ion algorithms to detect the homogeneous periods of the operation. Advanced sequence alignment algorithm used in bioinformatics is applied for the calculation of the similarity of the process trends described by qualitative variables. Decision tree induction is applied for the transformation of this hidden knowledge into easily in terpretable rule base to represent the operation regions of the process. The whole methodology is applied to detect operating regimes of an industrial fixed bed tube reactor.
