uzzy Contro plied to Pump Start in Petroleum P

Shown in this paper is a practical control system using fuzzy logic in a petroleum plant. Automation of pump start-up is achieved by replacing the expert operator’s knowledge with fuzzy control rules. The results show this system’s effectiveness in an actual plant. The system reduces the time for pump start-up by 50 percent compared with a ramping algorithm controller.
