Model Requirement for Control Design of an LNG Process
نویسندگان
چکیده
Systematic control structure design requires the use of a model of the plant. Developing rigorous plant models based on physical and chemical principles is often a laborious and time consuming task. This paper studies the effect of simplifications of the heat exchanger model on the resulting control structure design for the PRICO LNG process. It is found that significant model simplifications may be introduced without compromising the control structure design.

Optimal Synthesis of a Cascade Refrigeration System of LNG Through MINLP Model for Pure Refrigerant Cycles
 liquefied natural gas (LNG) is the most economical way of transporting natural gas (NG) over long distances. Liquefaction of NG by using vapor compression refrigeration system requires high operating and capital cost. Due to lack of systematic design methods for multistage refrigeration cycles, the conventional approaches of determining optimal cycle configuration are mostly based on trial-an...

متن کاملEconomic design of x¯ control charts considering process shift distributions
Process shift is an important input parameter in the economic design of control charts. Earlier x control chart designs considered constant shifts to occur in the mean of the process for a given assignable cause. This assumption has been criticized by many researchers since it may not be realistic to produce a constant shift whenever an assignable cause occurs. To overcome this difficulty...
