In order to predict the future evolution of a health-state of an equipment and/or a processing unit of a chemical production plant, e.g., a steam cracker, a computer-implemented method is provided, which builds a data-driven model for the future key performance indicator based on the key performance indicator of today, the processing condition of today, and the processing condition over a prediction horizon.

Forecasting the progress of coking and fouling for improved production planning in chemical production plants

A process for preparing N-ethyldiisopropylamine by reacting acetaldehyde with diisopropylamine and hydrogen at elevated temperature and under pressure in the presence of a heterogeneous hydrogenation catalyst, the catalyst being a supported transition metal catalyst comprising Pd and/or Pt as catalytically active metal, wherein the diisopropylamine used has a purity of 58% to 94% by weight and impurities as follows: 3% to 20% by weight of water, 3% to 20% by weight of isopropanol, 0% to 2% by weight of others.
