Anomaly detection is essential for several reasons: 1. Process Optimization: Identifying anomalies can highlight inefficiencies or suboptimal conditions, allowing for adjustments to improve yields and reduce waste. 2. Safety: Anomalous behavior can indicate potential safety hazards, such as runaway reactions or the formation of hazardous byproducts. 3. Catalyst Longevity: Detecting early signs of catalyst deactivation can extend the life of the catalyst and reduce operational costs. 4. Product Quality: Ensuring that the catalytic process runs within expected parameters helps maintain consistent product quality.
