A Fault Identification Method in Distillation Process Based on Dynamic Mechanism Analysis and Signed Directed Graph

Due to the complexity of materials and energy cycles, the distillation system has numerous working conditions difficult to troubleshoot in time. To address the problem, a novel DMA-SDG fault identification method that combines dynamic mechanism analysis based on process simulation and signed directe...
