Abstract
Expert system methodology has been assessed to provide process management expertise to plant operators in a zinc refinery. The development tools selected were: Personal Consultant Plus, a shell supplied by Texas Instruments, and a COMPAQ 386 microcomputer operating under MS-DOS. The domain expertise covered for the experiment was that of a plant engineer supervising the leaching section, optimizing liquid flow distribution between leaching, cleaning and electrolysis, and checking the plant electrical consumption pattern. The prototype features interfaces between LOTUS, DBASE, PC-PLUS, LISP and PASCAL methods, thus demonstrating the complementarity of conventional and expert system software.
