There is disclosed a system and method of formulating a batch comprising
at least two chemicals. An embodiment is disclosed wherein a feedforward
algorithm can be used to control the target blend. Subsequently a
feedback closed loop control loop algorithm is provided for a
multivariant blend. Use of this approach allows for a continuously
autoreplenished and controlled blend. Also disclosed is the ability to
control via feedforward and feedback algorithms a fast responding control
mode that allows for the elimination of a container. This approach will
allow for "one pass" blending with control. The controller implements an
automated fault detection and correction system, thereby identifying
necessary maintenance prior to failure. If failure does occur the
signature recognition allows rapid analysis and correction thus
maximizing tool availability.
