Statistical Process Monitoring for Fault Detection & Diagnosis in (Bio)chemical Processes (Statistische procesopvolging voor foutdetectie en -diagnose van (bio)chemische processen) KU Leuven
This thesis investigates the application of Statistical Process Monitoring (SPM) for timely detection and diagnosis of process faults. Although early industrial implementations of SPM have confirmed its huge potential in terms of increased production efficiency, cost reduction, quality improvement, and waste reduction, several barriers against the successful implementation and operation of SPM systems still exist. The general objective of this ...
