Critical Resource Infrastructure Supervision and Intervention System

The paper proposes a new control architecture for risk management in industrial processes. In case of a hazard situation, extreme caution must be taken in operating industrial facilities. Such plants quickly reach critical conditions, far from the nominal regime, and require special control in order to keep operating safely. In case further operation is not possible, the plant must be safely shut down. This new approach will be achieved by implementing a new hierarchical decision level implemented in a remote location, using high-tech products and technologies along with new algorithms and strategies.
