We will introduce how the hybrid model synchronizes models from different functional areas to enhance the safety, reliability, and profitability of assets.

AspenTech has devised a method to integrate first-principles-based process simulation models and expertise with AI and analytics algorithms. The resulting application software is a hybrid modeling system that can achieve more than either first-principles modeling or AI alone. With AspenHybridModels, the following becomes possible: - Modeling processes and equipment that are difficult to model using first principles alone. - Providing comprehensive and highly accurate models more quickly with less reliance on expertise. - Optimizing and evaluating optionality across multiple assets to select the best strategy for achieving goals. - Creating accurate and purpose-built models that enable the optimization of closed-loop production. Download this white paper to learn how to operate assets more safely, reliably, and profitably with hybrid models.

● What is a flow meter? Flow meters measure flow rates using mass flow meters or laminar flow meters and perform pass/fail judgments based on flow rate criteria. They are ideal for measuring airflow and conducting performance tests. "FMZ-1063 series" This is a flow tester equipped with a mass flow meter. It offers high precision of ± 3.5 % of R.D. ± 1 digit (in the normal flow range). It features a time-saving function (scan measurement). The FMZ-1063 is a compact, all-in-one flow tester with various functions. "FU series" This is a flow measurement unit that integrates laminar and differential pressure sensors, making it smaller and lighter. When connected to a display indicator (model: MI-170), it can provide direct flow readings as well as pressure and flow judgments. "FLF-110 series" This is a laminar flow meter capable of measuring a wide range of flow rates from 2 NmL/min to 500 NL/min.

What is an Air Leak Tester? An "Air Leak Tester" is a device that pressurizes the inside (or outside) of a sealed workpiece with air and determines the presence of leaks based on pressure changes. When a master with no leaks and a workpiece with leaks are pressurized, the pressure on the workpiece side decreases, creating a pressure difference between the two. By measuring this pressure difference, the presence of leaks can be determined. Generally, differential pressure air leak testing is widely used, but Fukuda also offers products that utilize direct pressure leak testing and flow meters according to the leak rate, in addition to differential pressure leak testers. Since the air leak tester uses air as the measurement medium, it incurs no running costs and is environmentally friendly.
