The method that the top of the distillation column cooling capacity automatically controls
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of methods that the top of the distillation column cooling capacity automatically controls.
Background technique
Rectifying column energy consumption accounting in chemical plant installations is larger, the rectifying column particularly with high-grade steam as heat source, energy
Consumption can even account for 50% or more of entire process or device, therefore the energy hole for optimizing rectifying column is of great significance.
Current most of the top of the distillation column are all made of regurgitant volume Set-value adjustment, phegma temperature because influenced by ambient temperature,
Variation range is then 3~7 DEG C small, and more then 20~80 DEG C.According to operating experience or theory analysis it is found that when regurgitant volume keeps certain
When, reflux temperature variation, then flow back flow stock carrying energy will change, the top of the distillation column substantially when ascending vapor and return
The Mas s balance and energy conservation process of flow liquid phase, when liquid phase carry energy change, the gas-liquid separation effect of tower top tower tray
It will change, reflux temperature is high, it is meant that reflux cooling capacity is small, it will be appreciated that small, the separation effect that compares design conditions for finite reflux
Fruit is bad, and product quality fails to meet production requirements;Reflux temperature is low, it is meant that reflux cooling capacity is big, it will be appreciated that is finite reflux ratio
Bigger than design conditions, more preferably, gas phase is by cold more for the separating effect of light component, it is meant that and yield will decline, meanwhile, tower reactor heat
Also by increasing to reach high score from demand, i.e. the unit consumption of product will increase power.So to guarantee that energy consumption is lower and meets simultaneously
Product quality requirement, when top products quality carries out bounder control, the variation of phegma temperature will cause product quality to fluctuate,
It is unqualified to likely result in product quality.The external disturbance into tower top cannot be made to reduce to most using traditional reflux Set-value adjustment
It is small.
In addition, certain rectifying columns can guarantee reflux using the scheme of return tank liquid level tandem adjustment regurgitant volume, the program
Tank level stability, but when ambient temperature variation, the energy that reflux stream carries can equally change, and influence the gas-liquid of rectifying column
Balance;Or certain towers are using the scheme of sensitive plate temperature cascade adjustment regurgitant volume, on the one hand, sensitive plate temperature-responsive may deposit
Unobvious compared with large time delay or temperature gradient distribution, for automatic control angle, i.e. the pure delay time of controlled variable it is too long or
Person's manipulating variable is too small to the gain of controlled variable, is all difficult to be adjusted by conventional pid loop, on the other hand, reflux
After temperature change, the variation of temperature will gradually pass to sensitive plate in tower, can just go adjustment regurgitant volume after sensitive plate response variation,
Inevitable process lag is equally existed, and using regurgitant volume self adaptive control is to adjust regurgitant volume in advance before entering tower,
Similar to the thinking of feedforward control, control more timely and effective;Or certain towers are using controlling under first layer tower tray by the way of liquid measure
Return valve is adjusted, the more difficult determination of liquid measure under the tower tray in this control mode under different operating conditions, operator cannot root
The setting value of liquid measure under tower tray is relatively reasonably given according to operating condition variation, unsuitable operator controls.
Accordingly, it is considered to control effectively using regurgitant volume automatic adjusument scheme to tower tray decline liquid measure in tower, the party
The more traditional reflux Set-value adjustment scheme of case, which has, reduces tower reactor steam, level fluctuation, reduces operator's workload and steady
The advantage of fixed output quota quality.
Summary of the invention
It is an object of the invention to stablize the cooling capacity of rectifying column top return, realize that the top of the distillation column is returned by mathematical model
Adaptive-flow is adjusted, and is mainly used for the change of phegma temperature caused by avoiding water cooler recirculated water or air cooler air temperature variations
Change the influence generated to the top of the distillation column product quality and tower reactor steam consumption, simultaneously as regurgitant volume automatically adjusts, device is certainly

Generally, in step 3), it is based on rectifying column principle, when meeting separation requirement by theory deduction foundation, needs to control
Mathematical relationship between the finite reflux amount Re ' and finite reflux liquid temperature Te of system.
In general, step 4) are as follows:
4) DCS configuration: the calculation block of the backstage DCS configuration formula (1), the Te of entered function block are needed through online temperature
Degree meter real-time measurement, Hv, Cp, Td are to calculate determining parameter according to design document and simulation, and Re is operator on DCS picture
The value of Re ' is determined by calculation in the parameter of writeable value, calculation block;Re ' is the setting of a flow control circuit on DCS
Value, to realize the automatic control of regurgitant volume.

In formula, finite reflux amount that Re '=needs control;
Re=refers to overhead reflux amount under operating condition;
Hv=overhead reflux liquid heat of vaporization;
Cp=overhead reflux liquid thermal capacitance;
Td=refers to overhead reflux liquid temperature under operating condition;
Te=surveys phegma temperature.
The present invention compares more existing control, there is following advantage: (1) when overhead condenser is circulating water, working as recirculated water
When temperature change causes reflux temperature of charge variation, it is not required to manually adjust regurgitant volume;(2) when overhead condenser is that air is cooling,
When temperature control or circular temperature loads cause reflux temperature of charge variation, it is not required to manually adjust regurgitant volume;(3)
Since external environment causes reflux temperature variation to be compensated, enters tower cooling capacity temperature, stable product quality and steam are made
With generation favorable influence.
