Development and application of the generalized functional model of one-stage chemical manufacturing

One of the approaches of chemical manufacturing information support is model-driven engineering which focuses on the abstract representation of the knowledge as the domain model. From one side, domain models are intuitive and user-friendly for the expert. From the other side, such models are formal and can be translated to software constructions. The IDEF specifications are used for the model definitions creating. First, we provide the generalized functional model on the basis of informal descriptions of one-step chemical manufacturing. We begin with top-level context diagram to specify the main inputs, outputs, controls and mechanisms of the chemical manufacturing. From this diagram the derived diagram is generated. The derived diagram describes the sequence of base technological steps such as row materials preparation, chemical transformation, product refinement and condensate separation. The quality inspection is added to the end of the sequence. Feedback arrows present recycles of raw materials. Then the implementation of this model for the production of methyl tertiary butyl ether is described. The detailing of the generalized model means naming of functional blocks and arrows while the model structure does not change. So the generalized model can be treated as a template for any chemical one-stage manufacturing model.
