Abstract

Fault detection is crucial in the chemical industry for identifying process problems, and determining the nature of the fault is essential for scheduling maintenance. This study focuses on the application of inverse fuzzy models to reconstruct faults for the purpose of detection, isolation, and classification. By inverting fuzzy models, the fault signal can be reconstructed, enabling identification of the fault source and its char-acteristics. To address the issue of undetected small abrupt faults, we employed the wavelet transform. This approach allows for the detection of incipient faults, while the classification is achieved by evaluating the response of the fault reconstruction. Fault isolation is accomplished by comparing the reconstructed faults. However, in the case of the pneumatic valve utilized, four out of the 19 simulated faults demon-strated poor isolation due to the similarity of their reconstructions using inverse fuzzy models. We also present a comparison with similar applications in existing literature. The fault detection rate obtained in this study is 84.81%, which is higher compared to the rates of 55.45% and 82.37% reported in other works. Additionally, the accuracy achieved in this work is 78.85%, indicating the ratio of correctly classified faults to the total number of measurements, including both fault and no-fault conditions.
