Development of a System for the Design of Control Structures for Dividing Wall Columns
نویسندگان
چکیده
The technology of dividing wall columns offers the possibility to save energy and investment costs compared to conventional distillation columns and their configurations. The practical use of the technology is still limited due to a lack of experience and high interactions between the process variables. The contribution focuses on a new developed appliance, named ConStruct DWC, for the model based and automated design of control systems for dividing wall columns. The architecture of ConStruct DWC is explained and the effectiveness is shown by the exemplary design and test of a control system.

Optimal Operation of a Three-Product Dividing-Wall Column with Self-Optimizing Control Structure Design
This paper deals with optimal operation of a three-product Dividing-Wall Column (DWC). The main idea is to design a control structure, through a systematic procedure for plantwide control, with an objective to achieve desired product purities with the minimum use of energy. Exact local method is used to find the best controlled variables as single measurement or combination of measurements ...
متن کاملOptimal Designs of Multiple Dividing Wall Columns
Since the optimal design of dividing wall columns (DWC) is a highly nonlinear and multivariable problem, an appropriate solving tool is required. In this paper a multi-objective genetic algorithm with restrictions is considered to design columns with dividing walls. Also, a methodology is proposed for sizing the DWC. The proposed design methodology allows achieving appropriate designs for colum...
متن کاملOPTIMUM DESIGN OF TMD SYSTEM FOR TALL BUILDINGS
High tall buildings are more susceptible to dynamic excitations such as wind and seismic excitations. In this paper, design procedure and some current applications of tuned mass damper (TMD) were studied. TMD was proposed to study response of 20 storey height building to seismic excitations using time history analysis with and without the TMD. The study indicates that the response of structur...
