Abstract
A method to optimize a gas processing plant with control parameters. The method includes acquiring a plurality of images, using a camera, of an incoming contaminated fluid and processing, by a computer processor, the plurality of images by a machine-learned model to produce a contamination estimate. The method further includes adjusting the control parameters of the gas processing plant, forming adjusted control parameters based on, at least in part, the contamination estimate. The method further includes receiving a plurality of data signals from a plurality of sensors configured to monitor sub-processes of the gas processing plant and validating the adjusted control parameters with the received data signals by verifying that the adjusted control parameters optimize, or at least improve the performance of, the gas processing plant.
