Anomaly detection is essential for keeping chemical plants safe and running efficiently. Although many deep-learning methods have been proposed, most are still tested mainly on synthetic benchmarks such as the Tennessee Eastman Process (TEP). While these simulators enable fair comparisons, they do not reflect the noise, complexity, and irregular fault behavior of real industrial plants. As a result, it remains unclear how well these models generalize in practice. In this work, we extend our earlier ESCAPE study and move beyond water systems to industrially relevant chemical processes. We analyze data from two continuously operated pilot plant scenarios at the Technical University of Munich: n-butanol/water heteroazeotropic distillation and poly(oxymethylene) ether purification. We published these datasets for the first time at NeurIPS 2025. In this work, 30 anomaly detection methods, including 26 deep-learning and 4 classical approaches, are benchmarked using the open-source TimeSeAD l... [more]

It presents the effects of variations in steam pressure and temperature on the system’s temperature and mass flow rate.

The climate crisis and dependence on fossil fuels make the transition to renewable energy sources imperative, with biomass standing out for promoting decarbonization and circular economy. In this context, fluidized bed gasification emerges as an efficient route for converting waste into syngas, applicable to power and hydrogen generation. Given the variability of real operating conditions, dynamic models are essential to represent coupled fluid dynamic, thermal, and kinetic phenomena over time. In this work, a dynamic phenomenological model was developed using a lumped 0D ap-proach, in which the reactor is divided into two interacting zones represented as continuous stirred-tank reactors (CSTRs): a dense bed, where drying, devolatilization, and heterogeneous re-actions occur, and a freeboard, dominated by homogeneous gas-phase reactions. The model was validated against experimental data from a bubbling fluidized bed gasifier, showing good agree-ment for major syngas species (CO and H₂,... [more]
