Overview

Multi-Variable Operating envelope models are easily built from historic process data already present in a plant historian and have proven more sensitive than other techniques at much earlier detection of faults and developing abnormal process events. With early warning of developing situations, operators can react earlier, with smaller corrections and in-time maintenance, keeping processes running, minimizing variability, reducing equipment damage and minimizing lost production caused by process downtime. We will show how these models can be built by process and process control engineers in a matter of hours and demonstrated performance examples.
