Pollution Reduction and Emission Prevention Automated Rule-based Expert (PREPARE) System for Operation and Maintenance of Pollution Control Equipment

Abstract

The maintenance of pollution control equipment (PCE) at Army installations is of critical importance. If PCE breaks downs, hazardous materials may be introduced into the environment. This may lead to unfavorable health and safety consequences for workers and people living in the area, and may also incur heavy fines on the installation responsible for the emissions. This study provided an expert system (PREPARE) for the operation and maintenance (O&M) of PCE. PREPARE helps combine the expertise of on-site personnel to information collected by researchers to help optimize decision making on how O&M dollars can be spent most effectively.
