Fall 2024
Process optimization and process monitoring form two major cornerstones of the field of process systems engineering. This thesis tackles selected problems from these foci through the lens of optimal transport theory, a powerful mathematical methodology that is receiving renewed attention in...

Fall 2017
An alarm system is an integral part of process monitoring and safety. A poorly configured alarm system can sometimes cause more harm than good, by introducing many false and nuisance alarms for the operators. Various standards on alarm system management and rationalization suggest many...

Fall 2017
The effectiveness of industrial process monitoring depends heavily on alarm systems. If alarm configurations are not rationally designed, the problem of excessive alarm messages would impact negatively the efficiency or even the safety of plant operations due to distracted information provided to...

Spring 2024
Modern industries are increasingly embracing complex, large-scale processes with interconnected units for their economic benefits. The increasing scale of industrial processes and the complexity of unit interactions substantially complicate the development of advanced process control systems....

Probabilistic Models for Process Monitoring and Causality Analysis with Industrial Applications
DownloadFall 2019
Process monitoring involves ensuring that the process systems are run safely and operated in the most profitable manner. On the other hand, causal modelling involves studying the causal interactions among the variables in a process system. The knowledge of these interactions is useful in process...
