Abstract

Abstract:

It has been a 10-year development history of smart plant undertaken by China Petrochemical Corporation since 2012. The planning and design smart plant 3.0 is currently underway. What problems exist in the current petrochemical smart plant? What are the development trends of intelligent process manufacturing? How to carry out top-level design of future smart plant?In response to these three questions, this paper summarizes the existing problems, business need and technical capability requirements of petrochemical plant. The technology development trend of intelligent process manufacturing is analyzed from three perspectives, including industrial software, open process automation (OPA) and EPC implementation. The cases and enlightenment of Global Lighthouse Network (GLN) are studied. The basic characteristics, connotation and evolution route of intelligent process manufacturing are expounded. The six characteristics and five key capabilities that petrochemical smart plant should have in the future are put forward. Scope of construction content, implementation consideration and key elements of use cases were discussed, and finally the future development is prospected.

Key words: intelligent manufacturing, smart plant, design, digital twin, CPS, modeling
