Getting Started
What We Need From Your Plant
Four things, and none of them is a new sensor.
Calibrating the model to a new unit is engineering work — we will not pretend otherwise. It is also short, and it runs entirely on records your plant already has on file.
What we ask for.
- 1
Equipment datasheets
Design duty, surface areas, passes, clean U, solvent specification. This is what anchors the physics to your unit instead of to a generic flowsheet, and it is the single most valuable thing you can hand over.
- 2
A tag list and a P&ID
The tag register with units and descriptions, and the drawing. Every box that carries a live value is marked in the drawing itself, so the picture and the calculation cannot drift out of step.
- 3
A history export
Routine operating history at one-minute resolution, plus the slow laboratory series for solvent strength. The reference train runs on 85 channels over thirteen days — no special test period, just normal operation.
- 4
One calibration pass
Block parameters are fitted offline against that history and baked to a file. After that, queries run on unseen data without refitting, which is what keeps a single-point diagnosis fast.
What we do not need
- No step tests. No new instrumentation. No connection to your control system. No migration of your historian into anyone's cloud. And where a channel simply does not exist, we tell you what the model cannot see rather than estimate it — twelve such blind spots are published for the reference train, each with what to watch instead.
More on how it works
The method is easiest to judge from the output.
The platform runs on a real amine train with thirteen days of one-minute history behind it. Open a diagnosis and read the evidence for yourself.
