<p>A method of monitoring a fluid processing network, such as in an oil production facility, an oil refinery or a chemical plant, particularly a flare network comprises a plurality of fluid processing regions, the method comprises steps of: receiving measured current parameter values at known points of the network; determining from the measured current parameter values regions of the network that are active, all other regions being deemed inactive; subtracting inactive regions of the network from a model of the fluid processing network to provide a current active network model; determining current parameter values of the current active network at least at points remote from the known points, the parameter values at said remote points being determined using the measured current parameter values and the current active network model; based on the current parameter values, such as pressure, flow rate or temperature, determining if one or more pre-specified boundaries are breached: and performing a predetermined action if one or more said boundaries are breached, such as issuing an alert which may be a message indicating a risk associated with breaching this boundary; severity of the risk; and recommendations for remedial action.</p> |
