About
- Hybrid machine learning and process simulation models have been used to reduce emissions on a crude distillation unit at a European oil refinery.
- Two years of historical operating data were simulated and optimised using a rigorous first principles model.
- The optimisation results were used as synthetic data to train machine learning models.
- The machine learning models were used, on-line in real-time, to set the targets for the multivariable predictive controller.
- The result was a reduction in emissions through reduced fuel gas and steam use and an increase in the unit gross margin.
