In this presentation, machine learning methods are utilized in the characterization and monitoring of the industrial catalyst used in the EO reactors. Estimation of the catalyst activity and other indicators has major importance during production due to the five-year lifetime with high catalyst cost and the EO product quality. In order to make accurate estimates, a vast quantity of data is collected from the plant and is processed using several statistical methods in order to capture the major driving signals that provide significant implications. Principal component analysis (PCA) is used for dimensional reduction and to categorize the measurements. The performances of various machine learning algorithms are compared for the prediction of that catalyst status. The machine learning model provides a good insight into the causes of rapid catalyst deactivation. Once these insights are obtained, the operating policies and process conditions that will maximize the catalyst lifetime and other desirable properties of the catalyst in the plant will be discussed in detail.
