Embodiment Construction

[0014]In at least one embodiment, a chemical management system is provided which comprises at least one computer and at least one source of data, which is input into the computer. The data source comprises at least one source of raw data related to the item(s) under management selected from: control systems output, wet chemistry test results, manual observation data, data collected by handheld equipment, laboratory management systems (LIMS), gauges, transmitters, statistical process control, statistical quality control, inventory management software, and any combination thereof. This information is stored by the computer and indexed by time. The data sources may also include information collected by a process historian such as but not limited to that described by US 2009 / 0149981.

[0015]The collected data is various readings of various specifications (or specs) of relevance various assets. Collected specs include but are not limited to temperature, pressure, pH, voltage, density, visc...

Abstract

The invention provides a method of efficiently determining the effectiveness of managing a chemical or industrial facility. The method involves identifying various industrial site assets and recording various specs of those assets over time. The various assets are grouped according to some hierarchy such as location, problem to be solved, or just asset type. The specs are compared to acceptable ranges and are scored positively or negatively. The system allows a user to determine trends by asset type, spec type, or by position within the hierarchy. This system allows both small scale and large-scale perspective, and can be used for both reactive and preemptive decision making.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]None.STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT[0002]Not Applicable.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]This invention relates generally to a system and method for the collection analysis and application of data in a chemical plant. Chemical and industrial facilities utilize a variety of complex equipment, which are often subject to harsh chemical and physical conditions. As such, a number of technologies have been developed to monitor the condition, efficiency, and expected lifespan of the equipment. Such technologies include historian systems, which collect and archive data from various sources within the chemical plant.[0004]Monitoring equipment typically involves a system in which a variety of process variables are measured and recorded. One such system is described in US Published Patent Application 2009 / 0149981 A1. Such systems however often produce massive amounts of data of which only a small portion of which is ...
