Incipient temperature excursion mitigation and control

A system for preventing temperature excursion in a reactor, the system comprising:

• a reactor;
• a heater;
• a catalyst bed;
• a sensor configured to measure data associated with the catalyst bed;
• an analysis platform comprising:
• one or more processors;
• and
• memory storing executable instructions that, when executed, cause the analysis platform to:
• receive the data associated with the catalyst bed;
• store the data associated with the catalyst bed;
• analyze the data associated with the catalyst bed;
• determine, based on analyzing the data associated with the catalyst bed, whether a temperature of the reactor is trending away from a historical average temperature of the reactor;
• send a message to a control system associated with the reactor, the message configured to cause an action to reduce the temperature of the reactor;
• determine, based on analyzing the data associated with the catalyst bed, whether the temperature of the reactor is above a first point;
• based on determining that the temperature of the reactor is above the first point, send a message to cause a first action to reduce the temperature of the reactor;
• determine, based on analyzing the data associated with the catalyst bed, whether the temperature of the reactor is above a second point different from the first point;
• and
• based on determining that the temperature of the reactor is above the second point, send a message to cause a second action to reduce the temperature of the reactor.

• and,
• based on determining that the temperature of the reactor is above the first point, and that one or more temperature controllers for a catalyst bed where a temperature deviation was detected are not available, send a message to cause an action to reduce a temperature of a catalyst bed directly above the catalyst bed where the temperature deviation was detected.
