arXiv:2312.02873v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The process engineering domain widely uses Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs) and Process and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs) to represent process flows and equipment configurations. However, the P&IDs and PFDs, hereafter called flowsheets, can contain errors causing safety hazards, inefficient operation, and unnecessary expenses. Correcting and verifying flowsheets is a tedious, manual process. We propose a novel generative AI methodology for automatically identifying errors in flowsheets and suggesting corrections to the user, i.e., autocorrecti
The proliferation of advanced large language models (LLMs) and the increasing complexity of industrial process design are enabling the application of generative AI to critical engineering tasks like flowsheet verification.
This development addresses a significant bottleneck in process engineering by automating error detection and correction in complex industrial diagrams, improving safety, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.
The manual and tedious process of verifying and correcting industrial flowsheets can now be significantly augmented, or eventually replaced, by AI, leading to faster design cycles and reduced operational risks.
