Abstract

The specialty chemical and pharmaceutical industries require faster time-to-market, and more flexible production. Modular Plants built from Process Equipment Assemblies (PEAs) and designed according to VDI 2776 are suitable to address these challenges. Since PEAs are designed independently of the products they produce, this creates a problem of exchange of information between the Owner/Operator (O/O) and the PEA vendors. In this paper, an information model that links information about the products from the O/O (transformation model) to the information about the PEA from the PEA vendors (capability model) is introduced. Although, the necessary information from these two parties is contained and distributed amongst existing standards for information models such as DEXPI and OntoCAPE, these standards must be connected and extended to support modular plants. The application of this information model is illustrated for connecting a neutralization process with a reactor PEA.
