Ls. Gordeev et al., INTEGRATED EXPERT-SYSTEM FOR DESIGNING MULTIPRODUCT CHEMICAL-PLANTS, Theoretical foundations of chemical engineering, 32(3), 1998, pp. 286-295
Methodological principles of building multiproduct chemical plants bas
ed on the theory of expert systems are discussed. The block diagram an
d operational modes of an integrated expert system oriented toward the
selection of an adequate structure of chemical technological systems,
their equipment configuration, and the formulation of structural-func
tional models and optimization algorithms are described. A practical a
pplication of the expert system for designing multiproduct chemical pl
ants is illustrated.
