An Integrated System for Batch Processing

  • Conference paper
Batch Processing Systems Engineering

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NATO ASI F,volume 143))

Abstract

The engineering activities accompanying a batch plant development project are reviewed and the requirements for an integrated batch system environment are detailed. The role of some of the currently available supporting tools is discussed. Finally, a design is presented of a system aimed at integrating batch plant and sequence control system design, off-line operations scheduling and on-line operations management. Preliminary results are presented with particular reference to a multipurpose batch pilot plant example.
