Expert system

Multi-stage flash desalination plants consist of many complex parts and equipment. In general, the process of producing water passes through many steps until the final product, which is distillate water, is obtained. At the present, troubleshooting in MSF plants relies on expert operators in the pla

This work outlines the development of a fault diagnostic system to supervise a desalination plant MSF during dynamic states (e.g., start-up and changes of operative conditions) using a real-time expert system. This diagnostic system processes the plant data to determine whether the process state dur

The selection of an optimum scheme for treatment of agricultural drainage water for reuse in specific applications is a challenging and tedious task that necessitates the evaluation of a long train of optional treatment processes which involve, among others, alternative desalting systems. The decisi
