Abstract: Direct air capture of a gas followed by liquid phase desorption includes contacting a sorbent material with a gas and chemically reacting gas molecules with the sorbent material. The chemical reaction is reversed in a liquid phase environment so as to release gas molecules and regenerate the sorbent while the sorbent material remains in the liquid phase environment. Finally, the desorbed gas molecules are captured for sequestration.

Abstract: Heterogeneous monitoring nodes may each generate a series of monitoring node values over time associated with operation of an industrial asset. An offline abnormal state detection model creation computer may receive the series of monitoring node values and perform a feature extraction process using a multi-modal, multi-disciplinary framework to generate an initial set of feature vectors. Then feature dimensionality reduction is performed to generate a selected feature vector subset. The model creation computer may derive digital models through a data-driven machine learning modeling method, based on input/output variables identified by domain experts or by learning from the data. The system may then automatically generate domain level features based on a difference between sensor measurements and digital model output.
