Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and a system for steam cracking according to the preambles of the independent claims.
  • the present invention is based on steam cracking technology for the production of olefins and other base chemicals, as e.g. described in the article "Ethylene” in Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, online publication 15 April 2009, DOI: 10.1002/14356007.a10_045.pub2 . Plants adapted for steam cracking are often simply referred to as "ethylene plants” even if they produce other olefins.
  • the thermal energy required for initiating and maintaining the endothermic cracking reactions in steam cracking is provided predominantly by the combustion of fuel gas in a firebox (a refractory lined box supported by a steel frame).
  • the required process heat can also be provided by other energy sources, for example by electrical heating.
  • the process gas initially containing steam and the hydrocarbons to be cracked is passed through so-called cracking coils placed inside the refractory lined box, also called radiant zone or section. On its flow path through the cracking coils the process gas is continuously heated, enabling the desired cracking reactions to take place in the cracking coils, and the process gas is continuously enriched in cracking products.
  • de-coking of the cracking coils is required regularly to avoid elevated pressure drops across the cracking coils and a thermal fatigue of the material of the cracking coils.
  • de-coking should be triggered as less or late as possible since it comes along with a complete interruption of the furnace operations and significant energy expenditure for removing the coke from the cracking coils.
  • Offline computations of process variables of a steam cracking furnace are well established and commonly used by the applicant for design computations of an ethylene plant. These computations may be based on a white-box model approach.
  • White-box models are known in the art and frequently mentioned in literature. For example, as stated in H.A.B. te Braake et al., "Semi-Physical Modeling of Chemical Processes with Neural Networks", IFAC Proceedings, Volume 29, Issue 1, June-July 1996, Pages 6119-6124 , white-box models are based on first principles and can therefore not only be used as a model to predict a certain process behavior but also have the capability to explain the underlying physical and chemical relationships of a process. In general these models are therefore, to a certain extent, applicable independently of the process scale.
  • Such a white-box model is thus, e.g., based on thermo fluidic and/or thermo dynamic and/or phenomenological correlations and/or mechanical equations and geometry and/or topology of components of the plant it represents.
  • black-box models describe input-output relations solely based on measured data.
  • black-box models only can be used for the operating regime they are identified for. It is mostly impossible to use the same identified black-box model for more than one specific process scale.
  • the present invention proposes a method for steam cracking, a system for operation a steam cracking plant and a system for steam cracking with the features of the independent claims.
  • Embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims and of the description that follows.
  • the invention relates to steam cracking and, in particular, a method for steam cracking comprising operating a steam cracking plant and using a model, representing at least part of the steam cracking plant.
  • the basis of the model representing at least part of the steam cracking plant, in particular, a cracking furnace, consists of a white-box model as it can be used offline for plant design computations as mentioned before.
  • a difference within the present invention is, however, that the model is no longer operated offline with estimated plant operating values but is fed with actual plant data, i.e., it is operated or used in parallel with the operation of the steam cracking plant.
  • Operational input data like flows of certain streams or parameters for operating burners is used for both, the steam cracking plant and the model. This already increases the prediction accuracy of the (white-box) model.
  • Output data for at least one process variable are obtained from the model as simulated or predicted output data.
  • the model allows providing output data for the future.
  • model as a (pure) white-box model
  • output data of process variables of the plant, that are measured can be used to validate the white-box model and describe the discrepancy between model prediction and measurement.
  • values for at least one process variable for the plant are measured and fed into at least part of the model as additional input data for improving quality of the simulated output data.
  • the at least one process variable for the plant, for which values are measured comprises a temperature in at least one part of a radiant zone of the plant.
  • One or more thermal cameras can be used for that. While the invention will be described mainly referring to this specific process variable, the invention is not limited to such temperature, as will become apparent from the following.
  • a further application within the invention is a coil life time prediction.
  • a life time of at least part of the radiant zone preferably, a cracking coil, is predicted.
  • the total lifetime of the coils in a steam cracking furnace is controlled by the carburisation grade of the coil material and the resulting material fatigue.
  • the carburisation rate in turn, strongly depends on the tube metal temperature: the larger the tube metal temperature, the faster the carburisation.
  • the maximal (tube) temperature which is continuously computed and stored in, e.g., an online database, a full set of historic operation data is generated.
  • the measured data from the thermal camera(s) can be used in the (grey-box) model for data-driven model derivation, but all (or at least other parts of) the plant data measurements available might be used for model training.
  • a so-called black-box model results.
  • Algorithmical approaches like artificial neural networks are of particular interest for the black-box model description.
  • other self-learning algorithms like decision trees or Support-Vector-Machines can be used.
  • black-box model description of the entire process is only enabled by continuous data collection of the online model. Over time, this data collecting procedure establishes a sufficiently large data set, which finally allows the training of a black-box model.
  • the benefit of a well-trained black-box model is that it is trained with historic data across several de-coking cycles. Thus, also long-term trends of the plant process variables are taken into account. Hence, the black-box model is generally capable of extrapolating these trends to future plant operating conditions.
  • a possible model training strategy will be described in the following, exemplarily, for an artificial neural network. It would be similar, however, for other self-learning algorithms training: After an initial data collection phase, the gathered data will be split into a training data set and a validation data set. Based on the training data set, different network configurations will be evaluated with varying number of layers and neurons per layer. The input neurons coincide with the inputs of the white-box model, i.e. feed composition, coil inlet temperature, flow rate, etc.
  • the most promising models trained on the training data set i.e. the ones with the smallest prediction error for, e.g., the H2 norm (a particular norm typically used in model training), are selected for further evaluation on validation data set. It is tested how well the models generalize on inputs they have not seen yet, as the validation data set was not used during training. The model configuration, which generalizes best on the validation set, will finally be used for deployment.
  • the H2 norm a particular norm typically used in model training
  • the model will, preferably, be continuously trained with incoming data to further increasing the model's accuracy.
  • the model prediction errors will be continuously monitored. This helps to detect possibly biased training due to corrupted input data.
  • the invention also relates to a system for operating a steam cracking plant, comprising processing means configured for running a model, representing at least part of the steam cracking plant, and measurement means configured for measuring values of at least one process variable of the plant.
  • the processing means are configured for running the model in parallel to operation of the steam cracking plant, such that operational input data for the steam cracking plant is also used for the model, and the processing means are further configured for providing output data of at least one process variable obtained from the model as simulated output data.
  • the processing means are also configured to receive the measured values for at least part of the model as additional input data for improving quality of the simulated output data.
  • the processing means can include or provide a so-called cloud (central server providing access via internet or the like), and a local computer for user access.
  • a corresponding system for steam cracking comprises a steam cracking plant and the mentioned system with processing means and measurement means.
  • the processing means (or at least a local part thereof) can also be used as control system for the plant.
  • a main aspect of the invention is the incorporation of actual plant data measurement to optimize the prediction accuracy of an online model.
  • the available data is used for a data-driven model tuning.
  • the measurement data from the thermal camera which will be installed for the first time into the firebox of a cracking furnace, improves the data availability significantly.
  • the formulation of a data-based coking model becomes possible, as the coking formation and coke thickness correlate strongly with the tube metal temperature measured by the thermal camera.
  • this measurement data usually is not available for cracking furnaces, rigours data-driven formulations for the coking model were not feasible until now.
  • continuously collecting plant operation data establishes a data basis suitable for the formulation of a black-box model that describes the output process variables only on the basis of the input variables. As such a black-box model takes into account the complete plant history, long-term evolution of a plant can be predicted.
  • the advantages and improvements achieved by the invention are again summarized in the following:
  • the coke-thickness cannot be measured during plant operation.
  • the online virtual furnace (the model) provides correlation that allow to predict the coke layer thickness based on known and available input process variables only Besides other model outputs, e.g., the cracked gas composition, the coke layer thickness is accessible as a so-called soft sensed quantity, meaning a quantity that is not (continuously) measured but derived instead from other process variables.
  • the online model can be used accordingly as a soft sensor to provide additional insight into the physical processes involved.
  • the continuous monitoring of the tube metal temperature via a thermal camera increases the measurement accuracy (compared to manual tube temperature measurements via pyrometer and operator) and consequently the process safety.
  • the proposed online model runs in parallel to the actual plant operation and is consequently fed with actual plant data.
  • a more robust and quantitative measure is available for triggering a de-coking procedure.
  • the de-coking procedure being energy extensive and requiring a full stop of the operations, postponing the de-coking (or even de-coke less frequently) is a significant improvement.
  • the de-coking schedule can be optimized to avoid de-coking of several furnaces at the same time.
  • Having data for a specific plant at hand allows deriving data-driven correlations for the virtual furnace, which are specifically tailored to the real plant conditions.
  • a plant specific, data-driven coking model can replace the uncertainty afflicted design coking model.
  • the resulting grey-box model would then be superior to the general white-box model yielding increased prediction accuracy.
  • a steam cracking plant 900 is illustrated in Figure 1 in a simplified, partial representation.
  • the steam cracking plant 900 illustrated in Figure 1 comprises, as illustrated with a reinforced line, one or more cracking furnaces 90.
  • "one" cracking furnace 90 is referred to in the following, while typical steam cracking plants 900 may comprise a plurality of cracking furnaces 90 which can be operated under the same or different conditions.

  • heat exchangers 921 to 925 are arranged in the convection zone 92, either in the arrangement or sequence shown or in a different arrangement or sequence.
  • These heat exchangers 921 to 925 are typically provided in the form of tube bundles passing through the convection zone 92 and are surrounded by a flue gas from the radiant zone 91.
  • the radiant zone 91 is heated by means of a plurality of burners 911 arranged on the floor and wall sides of a refractory forming the radiant zone 91, which are only partially designated.

  • a boiler feed water stream 902 is passed through the convection zone 92 or, more precisely, the heat exchanger 922, where it is preheated.
  • the boiler feed water stream 902 is thereafter introduced into a steam drum 93.
  • a process steam stream 903 which can also be provided using the steam drum 93, is further heated and, in the example illustrated in Figure 1 , thereafter combined with the feed stream 901.
  • a stream 904 of feed and steam formed accordingly is passed through a further heat exchanger 925 in the convection zone 92 and is thereafter passed through the radiant zone 91 in typically several cracking coils 912 to form a cracked gas stream 905.
  • the illustration in Figure 1 is highly simplified. Typically, a corresponding stream 904 is divided up into a number of cracking coils 912 and a cracked gas formed therein is collected to form the cracked gas stream 905.
  • a steam stream 906 can be withdrawn from the steam drum 93 and can be (over)heated in a further heat exchanger 924 in the convection zone 92, generating a high-pressure steam stream 907.
  • the high-pressure steam stream 907 can be used in the steam cracking plant 900 at any suitable location and for any suitable purpose as not specifically illustrated.
  • the cracked gas stream 905 from the radiant zone 12 or the cracking coils 912 is passed via one or more transfer lines to a quench exchanger 94 where it is rapidly cooled for the reasons mentioned.
  • the quench exchanger 94 illustrated here represents a primary quench (heat) exchanger. In addition to such a primary quench exchanger 94, further quench exchangers may also be present.
  • the cooled cracked gas stream 907 is passed to further process units 95 which are shown here only very schematically.
  • These further process units 95 can, in particular, be process units for scrubbing, compression and fractionation of the cracked gas, and a compressor arrangement including a steam turbine, which may be operated using steam from the steam drum 93, being indicated with 96.
