Rectification of flow measurements in continuous processes subject to fluctuations
A new procedure for data rectification in chemical processes using mass balances is presented in this article. Fluctuations are taken account of directly in the reconciliation procedure, whereas their statistical properties are determined by means of a tuning procedure that makes use of the usual chi-tests. A numerical example is considered for illustration purposes.
