Multi-unit optimization has long been a complex issue in the oil and gas industry. Despite efforts using first-principle models or empirical approaches, challenges persist. However, the emergence of machine learning and AI technologies offers an alternative solution. In particular, AI-based process control technology has shown promise for multi-unit optimization. This session will delve into an example using a distillate system optimizer to understand how these AI models address large-scale optimization challenges and how parent and child models collaborate.
Participants will learn:
The strength of the technology and its high flexibility of handling core issues
How the technology deals with the availability of individual units, and cooperates with unit controllers from other advanced control technologies
How to sustain the technology’s performance and benefits
Speakers:
Bill Clark, Phillips 66
