Description

Optimization method and system for efficiently purifying hydrogen through pressure swing adsorption
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of pressure swing adsorption hydrogen production, in particular to an optimization method and system for efficiently purifying hydrogen through pressure swing adsorption.
Background
Hydrogen energy is a major energy strategy for national development in the context of "carbon peak-to-carbon neutralization". Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) technology can be used for hydrogen purification. In the actual production of pressure swing adsorption hydrogen production, a penetration curve experiment of pressure swing adsorption is used for determining the adsorption time of a pressure swing adsorption circulation experiment, and the concentration of adsorbates in a fluid phase at an outlet of an adsorption column displayed by the penetration curve is a function of time. The most important process of PSA cycle design is the adsorption process, and the setting of the adsorption time is an important parameter for the regulation of the PSA operation. Increasing the adsorption time of pressure swing adsorption increases the recovery rate and yield of hydrogen, but too long adsorption time causes impurity gas to penetrate the adsorption layer, so that the purity of hydrogen is reduced. Therefore, prediction of gas breakthrough time, determination of optimal adsorption time is the core technology of optimization of pressure swing adsorption operation.
In actual production, the penetration experiment process is time-consuming and expensive, and the test experiment has the problems of time consumption, labor waste, high test cost and the like. A more efficient way to select the appropriate operating conditions is to model the transient adsorption process. However, establishing a mathematical model of adsorption separation necessitates solving a large number of Partial Differential Equations (PDEs), including mass, energy, and momentum balances, which can be very time consuming to calculate.
At present, few patents are related to the determination of optimal adsorption time and the prediction of breakthrough time for pressure swing adsorption hydrogen production. The existing method and system for determining the optimal adsorption time of pressure swing adsorption (Chinese patent application CN 201710563608.9) establish a mathematical simulation model of a pressure swing adsorption device, and perform mathematical solution on the established mathematical model. However, the method has disadvantages in that: this method relies on a traditional mathematical model that includes mass, energy and momentum balances, which are very time consuming to compute. And the optimal adsorption time is solved through a nonlinear programming model, and the optimal adsorption time possibly falls into a local optimal solution.
In view of the above, there is a need for an optimization method and system for pressure swing adsorption to purify hydrogen efficiently to solve the problems in the prior art.
