Parameter Deviation Causes Consequences Action

The reactor outlet temperature was high, potentially damaging equipment, due to increased temperatures in incoming streams or decreased cooling. Actions taken included adjusting heat exchangers and compressor power. The distillation column reflux flow was low, risking dry out and reduced product quality, potentially due to pipe blockages, leaks, or pump failures. Actions included bypassing and adjusting heat exchangers. High reflux flow could flood the column and impact quality, possibly due to fully open valves or increased pumping. Actions included installing alarms and bypassing streams to control flows.
