From a broader perspective, the Abnormal Situation Management Consortium is working to apply human factors theory and expert system technology to improve personnel and equipment performance during abnormal conditions. In addition to reduced risk, economic improvements in equipment reliability and capacity are expected (Rothenberg and Nimmo, 1996).

It has been estimated that the U. S. petrochemical industry could save up to 10 billion dollars/yr by avoiding abnormal situations or learning how to better deal with them.159 A team studying abnormal situations management identified eight key issues ... 

The performance of multivariate SPC by MSPCA is illustrated based on simulated data from a fluidized catalytic cracker unit. This simulation was provided by Honeywell to the abnormal situation management consortium. The data consist of 110 measured variables and several types of process faults. Only three components are enough to capture most of the variation in the data. The results of multivariate SPC by PCA and MSPCA are compared in Fig. 8 for a slow drift in the slurry pump around. This drift is present in variable numbers 55 and 97, and starts at 5 min and ends at 65 min. Conventional PCA is unable to detect the shift with more than 99% confidence, whereas MSPCA detects the shift consistently with 99 /o confidence after 24 min. The contribution plots for this fault at 20 min shown in Fig. 9 clearly indicate that MSPCA identifies the contributing variables, whereas PCA does not. Further theoretical comparison based on the average run length of steady-state PCA, dynamic PCA and MSPCA are also available [14],... 

Emergency response falls under the broader rubric of Abnormal Situation Management (ASM), in which a variable moves from the safe range, through the area of troubleshooting, and on to a true emergency as illustrated in Figure 12.1.

EEMUA 201 discusses the changing nature of confrol cenfres, and how these changes have affected the role of the control room operator. It is the primary and authoritative industry guide to HCIs, and is intended to help those involved in the design, procurement, operation, management and maintenance of these systems. It includes material derived from cooperation with the US-based Abnormal Situation Management Consortium (ASM). ASM publications should be consulted where further information is required.
