Method and system for dynamic process window management in equipment damage prediction

An apparatus comprising:

• at least one memory configured to store:
• data associated with a plurality of variables of an industrial process;
• an indication of an acceptable damage rate to equipment that is used in the industrial process;
• and
• a damage prediction model for the equipment, wherein the damage prediction model mathematically represents expected damage to the equipment based on the plurality of variables;
• and
• at least one processing device configured to determine at least one of a high limit and a low limit for each of the plurality of variables based on predicted damage rates to the equipment that are determined using the data and the damage prediction model.

A non-transitory computer readable medium containing computer readable program code that when executed causes at least one processing device to:

• obtain data associated with a plurality of variables of an industrial process;
• obtain an indication of an acceptable damage rate to equipment that is used in the industrial process;
• obtain a damage prediction model for the equipment, wherein the damage prediction model mathematically represents expected damage to the equipment based on the plurality of variables;
• and
• determine at least one of a high limit and a low limit for each of the plurality of variables based on predicted damage rates to the equipment that are determined using the data and the damage prediction model.
