Flowsheet AIDES system

Total Flowsheet Synthesis. Several approaches to total flowsheet synthesis appear inthe literature. The first was the AIDES system developed by Siirola, Powers and Rudd (1971). A second is the BALTAZAR system by Mahalec and Motard (1977a,b). ...

Control panel. Figure 7-18 shows the main control board and console. Here are located only those instruments necessary for the safe operation of the reactor. These are arranged in a "visual aid form to reduce operational errors and to facilitate the training of operators. The graphic section is essentially a simplified schematic representation of the chemical process flowsheet with instruments, control switches, and valve-position indicators located in positions corresponding to their location or function in the actual system.
