The method identifies sensors in CDU that behave different between during anomaly and normal period using discriminant analysis. To detect cause of troubles with the identified sensors, category table to categorize sensors based on domain knowledge and statistical analysis using histogram were introduced. Binary distillation experiments using a mixture of ethanol and water carried out on test equipment at Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP) confirmed that the method could detect causes in 6 troubles out of total 7 heat exchanger related troubles that were experimented in the equipment. © 2017 IEEE. date: 2017 publisher: IEEE Computer Society official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85045255502&doi=10.1109%2fIEEM.2017.8290222&partnerID=40&md5=20350be557a3401d596660423329bfdf id_number: 10.1109/IEEM.2017.8290222 full_text_status: none publication: IEEE International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management volume: 2017-D pagerange: 1901-1905 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9781538609484 issn: 21573611 citation: Okitsu, J. and Matsuo, T. and Yamamoto, H. and Zabiri, H.B. and Tufa, L.D. and Ramasamy, M.
