Principal component analysis (PCA) has found wide application in chemical process monitoring and product quality control as a data-driven modeling method.Based on the fault reconstruction technology
the fault isolation and identification issues were explored by using T2 index
since some faults involving process fault and sensor fault that do not violate the dominant process relation described by the PCA statistical model could only be detected by T2 index.The theoretical conditions of isolatability and identifiability were obtained.The acquired results were then illustrated and verified by monitoring a simulated double-effect evaporator (DEE) process
