Eastman Tennessee process

In addn to the above mentioned processes for the production of acetylene, several others were developed, of which the Tennessee Eastman process (Ref 22) and the Societe Beige de 1 Azote (SB A)-Kellogg process (Ref 27) are the most recent...

For improving performance of principal component analysis (PCA) for process monitoring with noise, this paper proposes a wavelet packet PCA (WPPCA). It integrates ability of wavelet packet in de-noise and ability of PCA to de-correlate the variables by extracting a linear relationship. Process monitoring is simulated in a two-inputs, two-outputs dynamic process with noise. The simulation result shows that the wavelet packet PCA eliminate effects of noise effectively with better monitoring performance. Finally, the proposed approach is successfully applied to Tennessee Eastman process for dynamic monitoring. 

In this Section, the proposed wavelet PCA approach is applied to the monitoring problem of the Tennessee Eastman (TE) process. Tennessee Eastman process, which was developed by Downs and Vogel (1993), consists of five major unit operations a reactor, a condenser, a vapor-liquid separator, a recycle compressor, and a product stripper. Some disturbances are programmed for researching the characteristics of the control system, listed in Table 1. 

In order to demonstrate the APOS approach, we present some results for the well-known Tennessee Eastman process of Downs and Vogel [60]. The process has two main reactions leading to the formation of the products G and H, and side reactions that lead to a less desirable byproduct F. As per the operational requirements given in the problem statement, the plant operates over a broad range of the G to H ratio of production rates.
