Abstract: With the increase in the complexity of industrial system, simply detecting and diagnosing a fault may be insufficient in some cases, and prognosing the fault ahead of time could have a certain necessity. Accurate prediction of key alarm variables in chemical process can indicate the possible change to reduce the probability of abnormal conditions. According to the characteristics of chemical process data, this work proposed a key alarm variables prediction model in chemical process based on dynamic-inner principal component analysis (DiPCA) and long short-term memory (LSTM). DiPCA is used to extract the most dynamic components for prediction. While LSTM is used to learn the relationship and predict the key alarm variables. This work used a simulation data set and a real hydrogenation process data set for applications and explained the model validity from the essential characteristics. Comparison of results with different models shows that our model has better prediction accuracy and performance, which can provide the basis for fault prognosis and health management.
