Abstract This paper discusses the issues involved in applying a generic AI planner to the problem of generating plant operating procedures for chemical process plant. It considers the problem of providing the correct planning facilities, concentrating on dealing with flow of chemicals, and proposes the use and integration of a special purpose planner for valve sequencing. It goes on to consider the knowledge engineering issues using a sample chemical plant to illustrate the solutions adopted. 1
