Synthesis, expert systems

Foulkes et al. (1988) have approached the synthesis of operating procedures from a more empirical angle. They have extended the work of Rivas and Rudd (1974) for the synthesis of complex pump and valve sequencing operations, relying on the use of logical propositions (implemented as rule-based expert systems), which capture the various types of constraints imposed on the states of a processing system.

Most of the applications discussed here were based on algorithmic systematic generation approaches to process synthesis. There also exist a number of heuristic rule-based or expert-systems-based approaches including PIP for total flowsheet synthesis, SPLIT for separation schemes (Wahnschafft et ai, 1991),...
