1. A system for remotely monitoring and controlling a chemical process, the system comprising:

  • a plurality of remote field equipment for performing the chemical process that are adapted to be responsive to electromagnetic signals resulting in control of a plurality of process parameters;

    a server comprising a hardware processor and a non-transitory digital storage medium storing executable program code;

    a communications-link between said server and said piece of remote field equipment; and

    a plurality of program code embodied on said non-transitory digital storage medium, said plurality of program code which when executed causes said hardware processor to execute a process performing the steps of;

    establishing an equipment-server connection between said piece of remote field equipment and said server;

    establishing a client-server connection between a user device and said server;

    providing an interface to allow a user to display the plurality of process parameters on said user device;

    receiving a set of chemical process input parameters corresponding to parameters of an input chemical stream;

    receiving a set of desired chemical process output parameters corresponding to desired parameters of an output chemical stream;

    controlling a set of chemical process control parameters to achieve the desired chemical process output parameters given the chemical process input parameters and the desired chemical process output parameters, wherein a plurality of computationally determined ideal operating points is utilized to produce products which meet client specifications from an inlet feedstock of varying conditions; and

    providing a human-machine interface (HMI) adapted to allow supervisory intervention and specification of operating points to allow an operator to manually control the set of chemical process control parameters.
