Next-Generation, Integrated Fire Detection and Diagnosis Built Upon the Recent Advances in the Abnormal Situation Management

摘要

Process fault monitoring, detection and diagnosis, and fire detection and isolation technologies have many common characteristics between them, and the amount of technological overlapping is being increased. This paper compares and discusses our works in the areas of conventional abnormal situation management (ASM) as well as fire alarm generation management, as a try to show how the ASM technologies would contribute in developing next-generation fire detection and management technologies and improve the safety of process plants and the public. And the lessons from the fire detection research that could be applied for better monitoring, detection and diagnosis of processes are also discussed.
