Abstract

Several methods of fault detection have been put to testing withthe purpose of securing the installations and reducing the risks ofaccidents. This paper presents a new approach of fault detectionbased on the realisation of a Bayesian neural separate at radialbasis functions. In this paper, our contribution consists ofdemonstrating the way this kind of network can be used as faultsseparate, applied to a continuous distillation column containing abinary mixture of toluene/methylcyclohexane. The latter is carriedout through the use of test base containing two operating modes:normal and abnormal.
