Chemical Processing · AI Diagnostics

AI Diagnostics for Chemical Plants.

Reactor upsets cost production days. Distillation upsets waste energy and product quality. Heat exchanger fouling chokes plant throughput. ProcessIQ gives your engineers real-time AI diagnostics across reactors, separators, heat exchangers, and safety systems — on demand, any shift.

⚗️ Chemical Processing · 6 Equipment Areas · EPA, OSHA, API Standards

From feed handling to finished product.

ProcessIQ covers the full chemical processing chain — from reactor operations through separation, heat transfer, and utility systems. Every area loaded with failure modes, safety considerations, and regulatory context.

🔬

Utilities & Safety Systems

  • Instrument air and plant air systems
  • Pressure relief valve diagnosis
  • PSV and SIS performance issues
  • Steam and condensate return

Chemical plants run on tight process windows.

A reactor upset or distillation deviation can cost days of production time and trigger safety review cycles. ProcessIQ helps your engineers isolate root cause — process, mechanical, or instrumentation — before the deviation cascades.

Cost Per Day of Unplanned Downtime

Unplanned shutdowns in chemical plants typically cost $50,000–$200,000 per day when you factor in lost production, restart costs, and regulatory reporting. ProcessIQ reduces time-to-diagnosis from days to minutes.

PSM

Process Safety Management Alignment

ProcessIQ's chemical diagnostics incorporate OSHA Process Safety Management and EPA Risk Management Plan context. Corrective actions are documented with the rigor safety audits require.

75%

Of Distillation Issues Are Upstream

Column performance problems — flooding, off-spec product, high energy use — are frequently caused by upstream feed conditions, not the column itself. ProcessIQ traces the signal upstream to find where the real problem lives.

24/7

Process Monitoring Gaps

Shift engineers and operators carry process knowledge that disappears at changeover. ProcessIQ captures and applies that institutional knowledge to every shift — keeping diagnostic quality consistent around the clock.
