Design and implementation of an AI-based digital twin platform for real-time monitoring, coke formation prediction, and combustion optimization of cracking furnaces in an olefin unit using machine vision and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) data.
Secure and uninterrupted integration with DCS/PLC systems, thermal imaging and monitoring at temperatures above 1,000°C, real-time processing of large-scale data, and management of noise and missing data in industrial environments.
Use of an Edge AI Gateway, thermal imaging cameras equipped with 3.9 μm filters, advanced filtering techniques (Kalman filters and Autoencoders), and closed-loop prescriptive models with operator-in-the-loop validation.
Deployment of a digital twin pilot for a single furnace, development of real-time thermal dashboards, followed by full-scale implementation across all furnaces, incorporating a prescriptive AI module for decoking scheduling and combustion optimization.
Jey Oil Refining Company
Design and development of magnetoactive nanoceramic coatings to inhibit the nucleation and growth of coke deposits in process equipment used in bitumen-producing refineries. Through surface engineering, these coatings prevent the initial adhesion of coke, thereby enhancing equipment efficiency and extending its service life.
Jey Oil Refining Company
Design and manufacture of an industrial turbo-compressor to supply combustion chamber air and plant compressed air by utilizing the heat generated from the combustion of excess gas. The key innovation is the elimination of the power turbine rotor and the splitting of the hot gas flow upstream of the gas-generator turbine inlet, which reduces costs while increasing aerodynamic loading.
Jey Oil Refining Company
Design and fabrication of a compact heat exchanger for preheating the compressed air supplied to the oxidation reactor from 90°C to 200°C, using direct flame heat and combustion products from excess gas. The heat exchanger is installed in the excess-gas burner wall and fabricated from A516 steel plate with minimized welding requirements.
