Frequently Asked Questions
How does HexAgent deal with missing or outdated equipment metadata like design specs or P&IDs?
HexAgent uses inference-based gap filling and historical performance learning to approximate missing parameters, flagging confidence levels so engineers can verify or calibrate later.
What’s the typical deployment time for HexAgent in a refinery preheat system?
A standard deployment takes 4–6 weeks including data integration, knowledge graph setup, agent training, and performance validation, assuming access to necessary instrumentation and records.
Can HexAgent simulate what-if maintenance delays and their impact on heat efficiency?
Yes, it can simulate scenarios such as exchanger fouling progression and its cascading impact on thermal load, energy cost, and downstream unit performance.
How does HexAgent prioritize multiple maintenance recommendations across exchangers?
It uses a risk-based matrix combining thermal degradation rate, equipment criticality, outage impact, and safety history to prioritize shutdown or repair actions.
What’s required to onboard legacy exchangers into the optimization model?
Legacy equipment can be onboarded using design documents, historical data, and minimal tagging, with agents inferring missing context through pattern recognition.
How does HexAgent optimize under variable crude feed conditions?
It uses adaptive models to rebalance exchanger loads dynamically based on crude slate properties, flow rates, and feed temperature variation.
Can HexAgent interface with plant DCS for real-time adjustments?
Yes, it can issue soft recommendations or close-loop control commands through OPC or API bridges based on plant control philosophy.
How are anomalies in heat transfer behavior detected proactively?
Agentic AI continuously compares live performance against expected thermodynamic behavior and flags early deviation before significant energy losses occur.
