Multivariate Statistical Process Control (MSPC) technique has been widely used for fault detection and diagnosis (FDD). Currently, contribution plots are used as basic tools for fault diagnosis in MSPC approaches. This plot does not exactly diagnose the fault, it just provides greater insight into possible causes and thereby narrow down the search. Hence, the cause of the faults cannot be found in a straightforward manner. Therefore, this study is conducted to introduce a new approach for detecting and diagnosing fault via correlation technique. Multivariate analysis technique i.e Principal Component Analysis, PCA and Partial Correlation Analysis, PCorrA are utilized to determine the correlation coefficient between quality variables and process variables. A precut multicomponent distillation column that has been installed with controllers is used as the study unit operation. Improved SPC method is implemented to detect and diagnose various kinds of faults, which occur in the process. Individual charting technique such as Shewhart, Exponential Weight Moving Average (EWMA) and Moving Average and Moving Range (MAMR) charts are used to facilitate the FDD.

Given their key position in the process control industry, process monitoring techniques have been extensively investigated by industrial practitioners and academic control researchers. Multivariate statistical process control (MSPC) is one of the most popular data-based methods for process monitoring and is widely used in various industrial areas. Effective routines for process monitoring can help operators run industrial processes efficiently at the same time as maintaining high product quality. Multivariate Statistical Process Control reviews the developments and improvements that have been made to MSPC over the last decade, and goes on to propose a series of new MSPC-based approaches for complex process monitoring. These new methods are demonstrated in several case studies from the chemical, biological, and semiconductor industrial areas. Control and process engineers, and academic researchers in the process monitoring, process control and fault detection and isolation (FDI) disciplines will be interested in this book. It can also be used to provide supplementary material and industrial insight for graduate and advanced undergraduate students, and graduate engineers. Advances in Industrial Control aims to report and encourage the transfer of technology in control engineering. The rapid development of control technology has an impact on all areas of the control discipline. The series offers an opportunity for researchers to present an extended exposition of new work in all aspects of industrial control.

Multivariate Statistical Process Control (MSPC) is known generally as an upgraded technique, from which, it was emerged as a result of reformation in conventional Statistical Process Control (SPC) method where MSPC technique has been widely used for fault detection and diagnosis. Currently, contribution plots are used in MSPC method as basic tools for fault diagnosis. This plot does not exactly diagnose the fault but it just provides greater insight into possible causes and thereby narrow down the search. Therefore, this research is conducted to introduce a new approach and method for detecting and diagnosing fault via correlation technique. The correlation coefficient is determined using multivariate analysis techniques that could use less number of newly formed variables to represent the original data variations without losing significant information, namely Principal Component Analysis (PCA). In order to solve these problems, the objective of this research is to develop new approaches, which can improve the performance of the present conventional MSPC methods. The new approaches have been developed, the Outline Analysis Approach for examining the distribution of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) score. The result from the conventional method and ne approach were compared based on their accuracy and sensitivity. Based on the results of the study, the new approaches generally performed better compared to the conventional approaches.

The new approaches have been developed, the Outline Analysis Approach for examining the distribution of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) scores, the Correlation Coefficient Approach for detecting changes in the correlation structure within the variables. This research proposed PCA Outline Analysis Control Chart for fault detection. The result from the conventional method and ne approach were compared based on their accuracy and sensitivity. Based on the results of the study, the new approaches generally performed better compared to the conventional approaches, particularly the PCA Outline Analysis Control Chart.
