Cel Reactors are the core elements of chemical processes, which consist of reactors and unit operations for the transformation of feedstocks into final products. 'Several advanced commercial products are available for both simulation and optimisation of unit operations under steady and transient conditions. This is not the case for chemical reactors, due to the variety and complexity of industrial reactions: in most commercial simulators the description of reactions is left to the user. This requires many experiments and the skill of highly qualified theoretical chemists, which can lead to unacceptably high costs. They can be reduced by software tools for the identification of arbitrarily complex kinetics and for the advanced control based on this identification step. The project result is a prototype plug flow reactor with the necessary hardware to carry out temperature scanning kinetic experiments and the AI based software necessary to identify the kinetic mechanism, and design the industrial scale reactor and its control system with little human involvement. This objective can be divided into a number of intermediate steps, each of which is an important result of its own: A laboratory plug flow reactor for temperature scanning experiments. The automatic generation of reaction schemes, using graph theory with the possibility of modifying the kinetic mechanisms suggested by this expert system. A,symbolic translator from a chemical to an algebraic language for further data analysis. The rigorous regression analysis of temperature scanning experiments data, based on sensitivity equations, followed by model discrimination, if more than one kineti c mechanism was found. The design of an industrial scale reactor, its optimal control system and the automatic generation of computer code for use in a process simulator. This project includes a methodology for the smooth cooperation of scientists with different backgrounds: theoretical chemists, artificial intelligence specia Dziedzina nauki natural sciencescomputer and information sciencesdata sciencenatural sciencescomputer and information sciencessoftwareengineering and technologyelectrical engineering, electronic engineering, information engineeringelectronic engineeringcontrol systemsnatural sciencescomputer and information sciencesartificial intelligenceexpert systemsnatural sciencesmathematicspure mathematicsdiscrete mathematicsgraph theory Słowa kluczowe Artificial intelligence techniques Chemical reactor design Program(-y) FP6-SME - Horizontal research activities involving SMEs: Specific activities covering wider field of research under the Focusing and Integrating Community Research programme 2002-2006.
