Latest Patents
Sourabh's latest patents include innovative methods for detecting abnormal events in fluidized catalytic cracking units. The first patent, titled "Application of abnormal event detection technology to fluidized catalytic cracking unit," outlines a method that compares the operation of process units to statistical and engineering models. This method utilizes principal components analysis to develop statistical models based on normal operations. If discrepancies between the actual operation and the normal model indicate an abnormal condition, the cause can be identified and rectified.
The second patent, "System and method for abnormal event detection in the operation of continuous industrial processes," focuses on the analysis of thousands of process and equipment measurements collected by modern digital process control systems. By mining historical data patterns, this invention helps determine when processes behave abnormally. The normal operating patterns are represented by various models, including engineering equations and multivariate statistical models. The deviation from expected patterns is interpreted using fuzzy Petri nets, aiding operators in diagnosing the root cause of issues.
