Physics-grounded analysis for production support and process engineering teams investigating plant events from historian exports. Screen data readiness, confirm tag context, surface likely causes, and review optimization opportunities in an engineering-led workflow.
Production support and process engineering teams routinely reconstruct plant events from large historian exports. Supreme Cortex organizes that work into a traceable workflow, from data readiness and tag context through physics-grounded analysis and engineering review.
Three demonstrated equipment families are currently available: low-pressure storage tanks with transfer pumps, forced-draft air-cooled heat exchangers, and fired heaters. Real-plant historian validation is the next milestone.
Demineralized water vessel with blanket nitrogen gas padding, overpressure safety systems, and multiple duty/standby transfer pumps.
A fin-fan cooling bay that cools a hot single-phase process stream by drawing ambient air through the bundle with multiple axial fans.
A multi-pass, fuel-gas-fired furnace with process coils, natural draft, flue-gas monitoring, and per-pass temperature and flow measurements.
The prototype was tested without access to the injected faults against 30 days of synthetic DCS logs produced by a separate physics simulator.
Synthetic validation only. Real-plant historian validation is the next milestone.
Correctly categorized fault families and rotating-equipment bearing wear modes across all blind runs.
Detected and classified anomalies in a median of 0.58 hours (~35 minutes) from initial fault event onset.
A separate simulator generated 30 days of 60-second logs with injected sensor dropouts, random noise, and non-standard tagging.
The analysis engine evaluated the logs without knowing the locations, durations, or types of faults injected.
A separate scoring program compared the analysis reports against the hidden ground truth to calculate accuracy and timing.
Replay an illustrative historian event window on the left and review a physics-grounded investigation finding on the right.
The analysis identified evidence consistent with fan belt slip on cooling fan bay HX_201. Fan rotational speed dropped, motor stator current unloaded, and the bundle cooling approach increased within the event window.
Supreme Cortex supports on-premises analysis within client-approved infrastructure. Client IT defines the deployment environment, access controls, update path, and data-handling policy.
The licensed platform installs on client-approved local servers or hypervisors within the facility network, so process analysis runs where the data lives. Our separate hosted demonstration is invite-gated and purges inactive uploaded-run data after four hours.
The licensed platform can operate without internet access. Signed updates can be imported locally or downloaded through a client-approved outbound connection.
Process data remains within client-approved infrastructure. The optional update channel is limited to retrieving signed release packages through a client-approved outbound connection.
"We built Supreme Cortex to help process engineers turn historian data into engineering evidence. It combines operating experience with physics-grounded analysis so teams can investigate events faster, test likely causes, and make production decisions with a traceable technical basis."
Led global plant commissioning, dynamic start-up, field operations, and control room (DCS) troubleshooting across downstream refineries, LNG plants, and midstream processes.
Specialized in plant start-ups, control loop troubleshooting, equipment debottlenecking, and process performance optimization based on chemical engineering principles.
