The method that rectifying column tower top cold is automatically controlled
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of method that rectifying column tower top cold is automatically controlled.
Background technology
Rectifying column energy consumption accounting in chemical plant installations is larger, particularly with rectifying column of the high-grade steam as thermal source, energy
Consumption can even account for more than the 50% of whole process or device, therefore the energy hole of optimization rectifying column is significant.
Current most of rectifying column tower tops use capacity of returns Set-value adjustment, phegma temperature because influenced by ambient temperature,
Excursion is small then 3~7 DEG C, at most 20~80 DEG C.It can be seen from operating experience or theory analysis, when capacity of returns keeps certain
When, reflux temperature change, then backflow stream stock carry energy will change, rectifying column tower top 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 backflow cold is small, it will be appreciated that small, the separation effect that compares design conditions for finite reflux
Really bad, product quality does not reach production requirement;Reflux temperature is low, it is meant that backflow cold is big, it will be appreciated that be 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 yield will decline, meanwhile, tower reactor heat
Power also by increase with reach high score from demand, i.e. product unit consumption will increase.So, to ensure that energy consumption is relatively low and meets simultaneously
Product quality requirement, when top products quality carries out bounder control, the change of phegma temperature will cause product quality to fluctuate,
Likely result in product quality unqualified.Using traditional backflow Set-value adjustment the external disturbance into tower top can not be made to reduce to most
It is small.
In addition, some rectifying columns can adjust the scheme of capacity of returns using return tank liquid level tandem, the program can guarantee that backflow
Tank level stability, but during ambient temperature change, the energy that reflux stream is carried can equally change, and influence the gas-liquid of rectifying column
Balance;Or some towers adjust the scheme of capacity of returns using sensitive plate temperature cascade, on the one hand, sensitive plate temperature-responsive may be deposited
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 long or
Gain of person's manipulating variable to controlled variable is too small, is all difficult to be adjusted by conventional pid loop, on the other hand, backflow
After temperature change, the change of temperature will gradually pass to sensitive plate in tower, can just go to adjust capacity of returns after sensitive plate response change,
Inevitable process lag is equally existed, and it is to adjust capacity of returns in advance before tower is entered to use capacity of returns Self Adaptive Control,
Similar to the thinking of feedforward control, control more timely and effective;Or some towers are by the way of liquid measure under control first layer tower tray
Return valve is adjusted, liquid measure is more difficult under the tower tray in this control mode under different operating modes determines, operating personnel can not root
The setting value of liquid measure under tower tray is more reasonably given according to working conditions change, unsuitable operating personnel are controlled.
It is control effectively accordingly, it is considered to decline liquid measure to tower tray in tower using capacity of returns automatic adjusument scheme, the party
The more traditional backflow Set-value adjustment scheme of case, which has, reduces tower reactor steam, level fluctuation, reduces operating personnel's live load and steady
The advantage of fixed output quota quality.

To be calculated, so as to determine Re ' value by calculating.
In the above-mentioned methods, it is preferable that Re ' is the setting value of a flow control circuit on DCS, so as to realize capacity of returns
Automatically control.
Typically, in step 1) in, determined to meet the ginseng of rectifying column separation requirement according to design document and actual operating data
Operating mode is examined, it is determined that gathering rectifying column with reference to operating mode corresponding overhead reflux amount Re and overhead reflux liquid temperature Td, and using instrument
The parameter such as overhead reflux liquid temperature Te, tower top pressure P and overhead reflux liquid composition X.
Typically, in step 3) in, based on rectifying column principle, set up by theory deduction when meeting separation requirement, it is necessary to control
Mathematical relationship between the finite reflux amount Re ' and finite reflux liquid temperature degree Te of system.
In general, step 4) be:
4) DCS configurations:The calculation block of DCS backstages configuration formula (1), the Te of entered function block is needed by online temperature
The measurement in real time of degree meter, Hv, Cp, Td are that the parameter determined is calculated according to design document and simulation, and Re is operator on DCS pictures
The parameter of writeable value, calculation block determines Re ' value by calculating;Re ' is the setting of a flow control circuit on DCS
Value, to realize automatically controlling for capacity of returns.
In simple terms, the present invention provides a kind of method that rectifying column tower top cold is automatically controlled, and this method includes following step
Suddenly:It is determined that the reference operating mode of rectifying column separation requirement is met, it is determined that with reference to the corresponding overhead reflux amount Re of operating mode and overhead reflux

Data based on collection calculate phegma heat of vaporization Hv and overhead reflux liquid thermal capacitance Cp using chemical-process software Aspen, then
The mathematical modeling for maintaining the timing of tower top cold one, phegma temperature Te and capacity of returns Re ' is set up, and passes through on DCS the mathematics
Model calculates control backflow volume Re '.
Further, determined to meet the reference operating mode of rectifying column separation requirement according to design document and actual operating data;
Further, based on rectifying column principle, set up by theory deduction when meeting separation requirement, it is necessary to the reality of control
Mathematical relationship between capacity of returns Re ' and finite reflux liquid temperature degree Te is as follows:
In formula, the finite reflux amount of Re '=needs control;
Re=refers to overhead reflux amount under operating mode;
Hv=overhead reflux liquid heats of vaporization;
Cp=overhead reflux liquid thermal capacitances;
Td=refers to overhead reflux liquid temperature under operating mode;
Te=surveys phegma temperature.
The present invention compares more existing control, there is following advantage:(1) when overhead condenser is circulating water, recirculated water is worked as
When temperature change causes backflow temperature of charge change, it is not required to manually adjust capacity of returns;(2) when overhead condenser is that air is cooled down,
When temperature control or circular temperature loads cause backflow temperature of charge change, it is not required to manually adjust capacity of returns;(3)
Because external environment causes reflux temperature change to be compensated, enter tower cold temperature, product quality stability and steam are made
With producing favorable influence.
