First application of artificial intelligence for corrosion control in the petroleum industry
The first artificial intelligence (AI) programmed Expert Advisor for the corrosion control of a refinery process unit has been installed at the Sun Refining and Marketing Company Yabucoa Refinery. The MOR or LES crude unit expert advisor is a resident part of the operating computer system and is available on a call basis to the Chief Operator through his CRT computer console in the control room. Other Operations personnel also have access to the Advisor guidelines through their own operating system terminals. The Advisor provides real time analysis of the process conditions and is configured to become an automatic process control system. Details regarding the problem definition, system logic, and information responses are presented in this technical paper. An overview of the AI programming development and conversion to the operational computer system is discussed in general terms.
