Prediction of Flooding in Packed Liquid-Liquid and High-Pressure Extraction Columns Using a Gaussian Process

Reliable prediction of flooding conditions is needed for sizing and operating packed extraction columns. Due to the complex interplay of physicochemical properties, operational parameters and the packing-specific properties, it is challenging to develop accurate semi-empirical or rigorous models with a high validity range. State of the art models may therefore fail to predict flooding accurately. To overcome this problem, a data-driven model based on Gaussian processes is developed to predict flooding for packed liquid-liquid and high-pressure extraction columns. The optimized Gaussian process for the liquid-liquid extraction column results in an average absolute relative error (AARE) of 15.23 %, whereas the algorithm for the high-pressure extraction column results in an AARE of 13.68 %. Both algorithms can predict flooding curves for different packing geometries and chemical systems precisely.     

复杂炼油塔模拟的改进联立方程内外层算法

在内外层算法的基础上，采用联立方程思想将主塔、侧线汽提塔视为一个整体进行建模，并针对复杂炼油塔的特点对算法提出了改进。首先，由于传统内外层法简化的K值模型对组成的变化不敏感，在处理带有石油的体系时，容易出现迭代次数较多，甚至部分塔板温度更新异常的问题，因此采用了汽相分数加和式推导了简化的K值模型加权因子。其次，借鉴流量加和法思想，规定侧线汽提塔的塔底产品流量作为设计变量，增强了算法收敛的稳定性。为验证改进后算法的有效性，采用不同的算法对实际的常压塔进行了模拟，结果显示改进后的算法适合应用于复杂炼油塔的模拟计算。

Nonlinear dynamic behaviors and control based on simulation of high-purity heat integrated air separation column

In this paper, the dynamic behaviors on the basis of simulation for high-purity heat integrated air separation column (HIASC) are studied. A nonlinear generic model control (GMC) scheme is proposed based on the nonlinear behavior analyses of a HIASC process, and an adaptive generic model control (AGMC) scheme is further presented to correct the model parameters online. Related internal model control (IMC) scheme and multi-loop PID (M-PID) scheme are also developed as the comparative base. The comparative researches are carried out among these linear and nonlinear control schemes in detail. The simulation research results show that the proposed AGMC schemes present advantages in both servo control and regulatory control for the high-purity HIASC.
