Selection of Internals for Reactive Distillation Column—Case-based Reasoning Approach

Effective retrieval and new indexing method for case based reasoning: Application in chemical process design

“…Currently in our domain, the model based approach is widely used. But recently CBR has found some applications: (Surma and Braunschweig, 1996) for flowsheets construction, (Seuranen et al, 2005) for separation process, (Lopez-Arevalo et al, 2007) for the generation of process alternatives, (King et al, 1999) for minimizing environmental impact of separations, (Avramenko et al, 2004) and (Avramenko and Kraslawski, 2005) for a decision support system for reactive distillation, (Kraslawski et al, 1995) for the selection of mixing equipment.…”

The TRIZ-CBR synergy: a knowledge based innovation process

“…If a similar case or set of cases exists, their associated solutions must be evaluated and adapted to find a new one. This approach has proved its utility to support design activities, equipment selection, knowledge management activities among others (Avramenko et al, 2004). The CBR as a methodology for problem solving encompasses four essential activities: retrieve, reuse, revise and retain.…”

Design acceleration in chemical engineering

“…. CBR systems have recently proved their effectiveness in chemical engineering with applications in: process conception [6], process separation [7], selection of internals for reactive distillation [8,9], selection of mixing equipment [10], alternative representation of chemical process [11], minimising environmental impact [12] . .…”

“…Nevertheless, concerning the chemical compounds in the mixture feature (very important in chemical engineering), which is a textual feature, the local similarity measurement can be refined as [8] had demonstrated. This approach measured the local similarity basing on the compounds chemicals structure.…”
