Abstract

Systems and methods for determining an operating condition of a chemical production plant including at least one catalytic reactor are provided. Via a communication interface operating data and a catalyst age indicator are received (10). At least one target operating parameter for the operating condition of a scheduled production run or a current production run are determined (14). The at least one target operating parameter for the operating condition may be used for monitoring and/or controlling the chemical production plant.
