چکیده

This paper focuses on energetic aspects of the dynamics and control of process networks with high material recycle. Two prototype systems are analyzed, for which the large material recycle acts as an energy carrier, leading to a high energy throughput for the entire network. Using singular perturbation arguments, we show that the variables in the energy balance of these networks evolve in the fast time scale, while the terms in the material balance equations can exhibit both fast and slow transients. We present a procedure for deriving reduced-order, non-stiff models for the fast and slow dynamics, the latter typically of low order, and a framework for rational control system design, that accounts for the time scale separation exhibited by the system dynamics. The theoretical results are illustrated in a reactor-external heat exchanger network example.

Generalization of Decomposed Integration Methods for Cost Effective Heat Exchanger Networks with Multiple Cost Laws

At many circumstances, in heat exchange processes several exchangers were used with different cost laws due to their pressure ratings, materials of construction and exchange3r types. In such circumstances traditional methods of pinch technology can not be led to minimum total annual cost may cause some other disadvantages like more complexity or higher maintenance. In this research work a n...

Reforming Integrated with Oxidation in Micro-Heat Exchanger Reactor with Circular Micro-Channels

Steam reforming integrated with oxidation of methanol was considered with numerical simulation. The parallel micro-channels with circular cross sections were used. Because when the catalytic deposited inside the rectangular micro-channels, it fills up the edges. Hence, the approximation of a cylindrical channel is appropriate. Effect of this changing in cross section was considered and results ...

Graph-theoretic Analysis of Complex Energy Integrated Networks ?

Complex process networks featuring multiple energy integration agents (processto-process heat exchangers) offer significant cost benefits while adding additional operational constraints. These networks show potential for multi-time scale dynamics owing to the presence of energy flows spanning multiple orders of magnitude. In previous work, we have developed a graph-theoretic framework to system...

Ammonia Plant Analysis

The efficient operation of existing plants in the process industry requires their analysis through simulation together with power and heat integration by retrofitting. Pinch Analysis (PA) is a classical procedure to achieve this goal. Yet, a further integration can be obtained reducing the entropy generated in the chemical processes. Ammonia, important as raw material in many process industries...

Retrofit of Heat Exchanger Networks Considering Existing Structure: A New Targeting Procedure

A new retrofit targeting procedure, based on pinch technology has been developed. The new procedure considers existing structure of a given network and finds the most compatible configuration with the network. To achieve this aim, the procedure uses a linear programming technique that maximize the compatibility. Good compatibility between old and new networks helps to make the best use of c...
