Application of aromatic compounds has dramatically increased as raw materials in various industries and different factories have been established to produce aromatic compounds. The current research aims at characterizing industrial waste generation in aromatics production process in petrochemical industries and determining the best feasible alternative for waste disposal. For this purpose, the ...

Process plants such as petrochemical units have been continuously trying to improve Health, Safety, Environment and Ergonomics (HSEE) programs. This study proposes an adaptive network-based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) for assessment of HSEE programs in a petrochemical plant. The proposed neuro-fuzzy approach is applied to a set of operators in the petrochemical unit to show its applicability...

Distillation is an essential separation process in the chemical and petrochemical industry. The distillation process is a highly nonlinear, complex, interactive and non -stationary, therefore its control is difficult. In the present work an adaptive neuro-fuzzy controller is designed to control a binary distillation process. A conventional PID controller is also designed for comparison purpose....

conclusions according to the findings, there has been a rise in the number of unsafe actions in machinery and maintenance service units compared to other maintenance units. as such, training courses based on the behavior-based safety principles at the beginning of employment, close monitoring of health safety environment (hse) officials on the implementation of regulations, and provision of app...

After an earthquake, the fire risk of petrochemical enterprises is higher than that of other enterprises as it involves production processes with inflammable and explosive characteristics. Using Chinese petrochemical enterprises as the research object, this paper uses a literature review and case summaries to study, amongst others, the classification of petrochemical enterprises, the proportion...
