Development of Soft Sensor with Time Difference of Process Variables Approach

Soft sensors are used to estimate the process variables that are hard to measure online in a process unit but the predictive accuracy of the estimation will deteriorate due to certain reasons. The reasons are usually due to the changes of plant state, catalyst performance loss, sensor or process...
