Before the system algorithm is started, firstly, the names of product varieties, which are required to participate in production, of the ethanol required to be prepared at this time, the target concentration, the target volume and the concentration of the concentrated ethanol (the high-concentration ethanol obtained by recovering the diluted ethanol and purifying the diluted ethanol through an ethanol rectifying tower) are input into a human-computer interaction interface operation panel (shown in figure 5), the concentration of the purified high-concentration ethanol in each normal production process of the same ethanol rectifying tower is basically consistent, the high-concentration ethanol is directly input according to production experience, and the concentration of fresh ethanol (which is adjusted into a workshop from outside the workshop by an ethanol transport vehicle and is the standard value) is input.
After the input of the target parameters is completed, clicking a production start button, automatically identifying the product variety name (transmitted by the front-stage production equipment in the control system) calibrated by each recovered thin ethanol storage tank and concentrated ethanol storage tank by the system, if the product variety name is consistent with the target variety name, allowing the ethanol in the ethanol storage tank to participate in the preparation, and if the product variety name is inconsistent with the target variety name, prohibiting the preparation process by an algorithm.
In the principle of recycling the ethanol for production, the algorithm preferentially selects the recovered diluted ethanol as a blending medium, namely, if the recovered ethanol with the same name as the product of the target variety exists in any diluted ethanol storage tank, the ethanol is used up. According to the above conditions, the algorithm enters the following modes in steps and levels:
If the recovered thin ethanol with the name identical to the target product exists in any recovered thin ethanol storage tank, the system automatically opens a related automatic valve and a conveying pump, the recovered thin ethanol with the name identical to the target product variety is conveyed into an ethanol blending tank, after the ethanol in the blending tank reaches a certain liquid level, the related automatic valve and a circulating/conveying pump are automatically opened, the ethanol in the blending tank is circulated to ensure the uniform concentration of the ethanol, and according to the configuration of the system, the recovered thin ethanol passes through a mass flowmeter to acquire the density of the ethanol in the blending tank in real time when entering the ethanol blending tank and circulating, and the concentration of the ethanol in the blending tank can be converted in real time by writing an ethanol density-concentration curve in the figure 2 into an algorithm program. According to the concentration of the recovered diluted ethanol and the total volume of the diluted ethanol collected by the system at the previous stage, the algorithm analyzes and enters different preparation modes:
