1. A method of processing signals representative of a process effected by one or more units of equipment in operative communication through one or more resource flows therebetween, said method comprising:

  • measuring flow rates of at least first and second of said resource flows in order to generate respective first and second measured resource flow signals;

    formulating a model of said process based upon conservation of a process parameter characterizing said first and second resource flows, said model including at least a first maintenance parameter; and

    adjusting a first value of said first measured resource flow signal, a second value of said second measured resource flow signal, and said first maintenance parameter such that said process parameter is conserved consistent with said model.
