Vapor pressure

Description
Hourly process measurements from a distillation column that stabilises a hydrocarbon product stream in a refinery.
Data source
The goal is a soft sensor: predict the vapour pressure of the product from routinely measured process tags, between the infrequent laboratory analyses. The record spans hours of continuous operation. Over that time the process drifts to different operating points, so a model built once and left unchanged gradually loses accuracy; the data are well suited to studying adaptive / recursive models and multivariate process monitoring. The data tag identifiers, absolute dates and the site are removed. Time is given as hours elapsed from the start of the record, and all quantities are in SI units.
