Abstract: A method that includes receiving a request to generate a data package for deployment in a target database environment. The request may indicate a first set of data objects from a first configuration associated with a source database environment. The method may further include determining a second set of data objects that are related to the first set of data objects based on the request and on a mapping between the first set of data objects and the second set of data objects. The method may further include transmitting an indication of the second set of data objects to a user at a user interface. The method may further include receiving a selection of one or more data objects from the second set of data objects for inclusion in the data package. The method may further include generating the data package based on the selection.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for controlling a process in a process plant using a controller. The method comprises receivable associated with the process, determining a first value of at least one key performance indicator associated with the transition from the process data of the first process variable between the first steady state and the second steady state, comparing the determined first value of the at least one key performance indicator against a threshold value of the at least one key performance indicator; and determining a correction factor for modifying a set point of the process variable based on the comparison, for controlling the process.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for identifying a sequence of events associated with a condition in a process plant using a control system. The method comprises recording process data, which is timestamped, and recording audio input from each personnel of a plurality of personnel of the process plant. The audio input is synchronized according to time with the process data. A keyword is identified from the temporally synchronized content of each audio input, and compared with the process information of one or more of an event and an equipment, for identifying at least one of a new process information and a supplementary process information related to the condition. One or more of the new process information and the supplementary process information identified for each keyword, and the plurality of events identified from the process data, are used for identifying the sequence of events associated with the condition.

Abstract: A reverse osmosis separation process is disclosed, such as for desalination and waste water reuse process, wherein an effectiveness of membrane cleaning can be estimated. Exemplary embodiments operate the reverse osmosis membrane cleaning process for a controlled time for cleaning and with a controlled value of chemical concentration in a chemical liquor prepared for cleaning the membrane. A method can include estimating fouling status of the membrane and determining a controlled value of chemical concentration in the chemical liquor, and a controlled time for cleaning based on the fouling status of the membrane.

Abstract: An exemplary energy auditing system and a method for obtaining a validated performance solution for a plant are provided. An exemplary system and method includes at least one processor that obtains plant data for calculating one or more performance metrics. An initial benchmark is generated using performance metrics, a tunable process model and an optimizer. A rules engine is used for applying rules based on a dynamic input on the initial benchmark and current performance metrics, and for generating an output. A decision analysis module is used for validating if the output meets the specifications of the dynamic input using a what-if analysis. If the specifications are met, then the output is provided as a validated performance solution. If the specifications are not met, then the benchmark is evolved and the validating steps are repeated.
