Intelligent Operation Support System for Next-Generation Chemical Plants

随着下一代化工厂朝着节约能源和节约自然资源的清洁生产系统的方向发展，很明显，工厂将成为高度集成的复杂系统。此外，不仅对产品的功能和质量提出了前所未有的要求，而且由于环境问题，还将要求不同的物理和化学性能。为了按照新的模式实际进行将生产此类产品的下一代工厂的设计、运营和维护，必须在工厂生命周期的各个阶段根据从分子水平到工厂车间到全球环境本身的各种来源的信息，进行精确的决策。因此，开发能够快速处理大量相关数据，并在设计、运行和维护阶段准确、简洁地为决策者提供所需信息的智能计算机支持系统至关重要。分布式自主式生产管理系统2。先进的控制系统，确保产品的高质量。设备监测和故障诊断系统4。工厂操作中的人/机系统5。工厂设计、运营和维护一体化

As next-generation chemical plants move in the direction of clean production systems that save energy and conserve natural resources, it is clear that plants will become highly-integrated, complex systems. Moreover, not only will functionality and quality be required of the products at unprecedented levels, but due to environmental concerns, different physical and chemical properties will be required as well. In order to actually carry out the design, operation and maintenance of the next-generation plants that will produce such products in accordance with the new paradigm, precise decision-making must be carried out at various stages of the plant lifecycle, based on information from a variety of sources that range from the molecular level, to the plant floor, to global environment itself. Hence it is crucial that we develop intelligent computer support systems that can quickly process large quantities of relevant data and provide the necessary information precisely and concisely to decision makers at the design, operation and maintenance phases.We obtained some valuable results on the following 5 subtopics.1. Distributed and autonomous production management systems2. Advanced control system for assuring high qualities of products3. Plant monitoring and fault diagnosis systems4. Man/machine systems in plant operations5. Integration of plant design, operation and maintenance
