JP7102254B2 - Systems and methods that provide catalyst information, catalyst life or operating conditions for desulfurization equipment - Google Patents

Description

The present invention relates to systems and methods that provide catalyst information, catalyst life or operating conditions for desulfurization equipment.

Conventionally, in the process of petroleum refining, a work called desulfurization for removing sulfur contained in raw materials has been performed.
As desulfurization performed in refineries and the like, for example, a hydrodesulfurization process for removing impurities such as sulfur by contacting a petroleum fraction with a catalyst together with hydrogen at high temperature and high pressure is generally known. ..

The catalyst used in such a desulfurization process deteriorates with use. When the catalyst deteriorates, the operating conditions of the desulfurization apparatus, such as the required temperature and hydrogen consumption, change.
Further, as a means for effectively utilizing the catalyst once charged, it is known in Patent Document 1 and the like that the optimum operating conditions of the desulfurization apparatus can be obtained by simulating the deterioration of the catalyst with time in advance.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-58206

By changing the catalyst, the operation period can be lengthened or the processing amount can be increased. Alternatively, even if the same catalyst is used, the operating period can be lengthened or the processing amount can be increased by changing the operating conditions. This makes it possible to achieve a highly profitable desulfurization process.
Therefore, it is conceivable to change the catalyst and operating conditions as appropriate, but since the risks associated with changing the catalyst and operating conditions are too great or simply difficult to predict, changing the catalyst or drastically changing the operating conditions is possible. Difficult to execute.
For this reason, it is important to select a catalyst that assumes the use of the catalyst for a predetermined period of time, but there is a possibility that the expected function may not be exhibited, so that there is a high barrier to using a new catalyst. For example, using the same catalyst as the conventionally used catalyst can be considered as the first option, and then changing to a catalyst different from the catalyst provided by the catalyst manufacturer of the catalyst is the second option. It is conceivable, or a third option to change to a catalyst provided by another catalyst manufacturer with an emphasis on catalyst price is conceivable. In particular, there was a big barrier to adopting the third option, because unlike the forecast, the profit may be lower than that of the catalyst used conventionally.
Therefore, when selecting a new catalyst, especially when adopting the third option, there is a desire to obtain a wide range of achievements of candidate catalysts to be selected, but it is not possible to compare catalysts from different catalyst manufacturers. Furthermore, since it is not possible to know the catalysts used and operating information of competitors with similar equipment, there is a problem that it is not possible to select a catalyst that can be recognized as optimal.
A simulation as in Patent Document 1 is known, but this is for predicting the future when the operation at that time is continued in order to support the daily operation management from the outside. When selecting a catalyst, it was difficult to predict future operation.
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a system and a method for providing the actual value of the desulfurization apparatus to other users.

Examples of the first to fourth embodiments according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of a system 1 commonly used in the methods of the first to fourth embodiments. In the method according to the first embodiment, when a user intends to change the operating conditions of his / her own desulfurization apparatus, the operating conditions of another desulfurizing apparatus for which operating conditions close to the planned operating conditions of the user are set and the operation thereof. It provides performance such as total operating days based on conditions. The system 1 stores actual records including operating conditions (user operating conditions) set in the desulfurization apparatus by a plurality of users and performances based on the user operating conditions as an actual database. The system 1 acquires the user operating conditions from the user's terminal 10 via the network 40, identifies other actual records for which operating conditions close to the user operating conditions are set from the actual database, and the user is selected from the specified actual records. Provides desired operating conditions, performance, and the like.

As shown in FIG. 1, the system 1 has a main server 20 (device) and a data server 30. The main server 20 and the data server 30 are communicably connected. The main server 20 and the data server 30 may have an integrated configuration or a separate configuration.

The main server 20 is connected to the terminal 10 operated by the user via the network 40. The terminal 10 and the main server 20 may be connected by a dedicated line or may be connected by an Internet line. The terminal 10 has a display device integrally or separately. The terminal 10 is an information processing device such as a computer, a tablet terminal, or a mobile phone owned by the user. Further, the terminal 10 may be an information processing device that is not owned by the user. For example, it may be an information processing device to which the user has logged in. The information processing device includes a processor, a storage unit for storing computer-readable instructions, and a display device.

The main server 20 may be configured by a single server or may be configured by a plurality of servers. The main server 20 includes a processor 21 and a storage unit (ROM) 23 that stores computer-readable instructions. The processor 21 reads the computer-readable instructions stored in the storage unit 23 into the temporary recording unit (RAM) 22 and executes a method of providing the operating conditions of the desulfurization apparatus described in detail below.

The data server 30 is composed of a recording device such as a hard disk. The data server 30 has a performance database. FIG. 2 shows an example of a performance database.

As shown in FIG. 2, the achievement database is composed of a large number of achievement records. The actual record is a database created based on the operating conditions set when the desulfurization apparatus is operated and the actual data showing the performance obtained under the operating conditions, which are acquired from a plurality of users. The actual record includes items such as record ID, user ID, device ID, operating conditions, and performance.
The record ID is identification information given to identify the actual record. The record ID is composed of alphanumericals, symbols, and the like.
The user ID is identification information given to identify the user who provided the achievement record. The user ID is composed of alphanumericals, symbols, and the like.
The device ID is identification information given to identify the desulfurization device to which the performance record is applied. For example, an oil wholesaler may have a plurality of refineries, and each refinery may have a plurality of desulfurization devices. A device ID is assigned to make these desulfurization devices distinguishable from each other.

The operating condition is an item indicating the operating condition set in the desulfurization apparatus. In the illustrated example, the operating conditions include items such as the catalyst name used in the desulfurization apparatus, the hydrogen partial pressure set in the desulfurization apparatus, the hydrogen oil ratio, the liquid space velocity (LHSV), the raw material oil density, and the raw material oil sulfur concentration. Includes. Although some items are not shown, in addition to these items, the operating conditions include the type of raw material oil, residual coal concentration, and raw material oil properties (T90: distillation 90% distillation temperature and T50: distillation 50% distillation temperature). , Raw material oil nitrogen concentration and the like may be included. The items used as operating conditions may differ depending on whether the desulfurization apparatus directly executes the desulfurization process or the light oil desulfurization process.

Performance is an item indicating the result when the desulfurization apparatus is operated under the operating conditions. In the illustrated example, performance includes total operating days, starting temperature, and rate of deterioration. The total number of operating days indicates how long the desulfurization apparatus could be operated without catalyst replacement when operated under the operating conditions. Since the catalyst deteriorates with the passage of time, the desulfurization apparatus raises the operating temperature in order to compensate for the deterioration of the catalyst. The total number of operating days is the number of days required from the start of operation to raising the temperature and reaching the upper limit temperature set in the desulfurization apparatus. If the desulfurization equipment is temporarily stopped for the convenience of the user (when the operation is stopped without replacing the catalyst), the total number of operation days is the total number of days from the start to the stop of the operation minus the operation stop period. It becomes.

The starting temperature is the temperature set at the start of operation to obtain the desired output under the operating conditions. The deterioration rate can be obtained by subtracting the start temperature from the temperature on the last day of the total number of operating days and dividing by the total number of operating days. The deterioration rate indicates the ease of deterioration of the catalyst.
The achievement database includes achievement records recorded by the operator of the system 1 with permission from the user, in addition to the achievement records collected by the operator himself / herself.

<First Embodiment>
First, the method according to the first embodiment will be described. FIG. 3 is a flowchart of the method according to the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, the main server 20 executes the user login process (step S01). The main server 20 causes the terminal 10 to display a screen prompting the user ID and password to be input. The terminal 10 transmits the user ID and password entered by the user to the main server 20. The main server 20 acquires this user ID and password. The main server 20 determines whether or not the acquired user ID and password match the user ID and password registered in the system 1. If they match, the main server 20 determines that a specific user is logged in and proceeds with the subsequent processing. In the first embodiment, it is assumed that the user X has logged in.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, among the user operating conditions, the planned values for the hydrogen partial pressure, the hydrogen oil ratio, the liquid space velocity, and the raw material oil density are determined, but which catalyst is used. It is assumed that the user X wants to know whether the life is the longest. Hereinafter, an example will be described in which the user X plans the user operating conditions shown in FIG. 4, and the system 1 provides a catalyst having the longest life (total operating days) under the user operating conditions.

The main server 20 acquires at least one of the user operating conditions excluding the catalyst from the user's terminal 10 via the network 40 (step S02). The main server 20 acquires the user operating conditions regarding the hydrogen partial pressure, the hydrogen oil ratio, the LHSV, and the raw material oil density shown in FIG. 4 from the terminal 10 of the user X.

Next, the main server 20 refers to the actual record database and calculates the degree of approximation for all the actual record records based on the acquired user operating conditions (step S03). The degree of approximation is an index showing how close the operating conditions of a certain actual record are to the user operating conditions.

FIG. 5 shows the results of calculating the degree of approximation for all the actual records. In FIG. 5, the individual approximation degree is calculated for each item of the acquired user operating condition by comparing with the corresponding item of the actual record, and the average of the individual approximation degree of all the items is used as the approximation degree. The individual approximation degree is calculated by (value of actual record) / (value of user operating condition). The degree of approximation is calculated by (total of individual degree of approximation) / (number of items of user operating conditions).

For example, the hydrogen partial pressure of the actual record 1 is 6.0, and the hydrogen partial pressure of the user operating condition is 6.0. Therefore, in the actual record 1, the individual approximation degree of the hydrogen partial pressure is 1.000. In this way, the individual approximation degree of the hydrogen oil ratio of the actual record 1 is 1.022, the individual approximation degree of LHSV is 1.067, and the individual approximation degree of the raw material oil density is 1.000. Therefore, the degree of approximation of the actual record 1 is (1.000 + 1.022 + 1.067 + 1.000) / 4 = 1.022. In this way, the degree of approximation is calculated for all actual records.
The method of calculating the degree of approximation is not limited to this example. The degree of approximation may be determined using a known statistical method. Alternatively, the degree of approximation may be calculated by multiplying each item by a weighting coefficient.

Next, the main server 20 identifies and extracts a performance record that most closely approximates the user operating conditions for each catalyst (step S05). FIG. 6 is a rearrangement of FIG. 5 for each catalyst. In the illustrated example, the catalysts are rearranged for each of the catalysts XX, XY, YY, and YX. The actual record having the closest approximation to 1 (closest to the user operating conditions) among the catalysts XX is 1, and the actual record having the closest approximation to 1 among the catalysts XY is 10. It is specified that the actual record having the closest approximation to 1 is 12 and the actual record having the closest approximation to 1 among the catalyst YX is 13. Then, the actual records 1, 10, 13 and 12 are extracted as shown in FIG. 7 as the actual records that most closely approximate the user operating conditions for each of these catalysts.

Further, the main server 20 identifies the actual record having the longest total operating days from the extracted actual records, and outputs the catalyst of the actual record (step S06). Among the actual records extracted in FIG. 7, the actual record having the longest total operating days is 10. Therefore, the main server 20 outputs the catalyst of the achievement record 10 to the terminal 10 of the user X. Alternatively, the main server 20 may output one or more of the operating conditions and performance items other than the catalyst of the actual record 10 to the terminal 10 of the user X together with the catalyst.

According to the system 1 and the method according to the present embodiment described above, the user can know the catalyst having the longest life from the operation results of operation under the conditions close to the user operation conditions. As a result, it is possible to refer to the actual operation result, which is far more convincing than the simple calculation result such as simulation. Therefore, the user can operate the desulfurization apparatus more efficiently with reference to the catalyst information provided by the present invention.

In the above embodiment, the configuration for outputting the actual record that most closely resembles the user operating condition to the user's terminal 10 has been described, but the configuration is such that a plurality of actual record that approximates the user operating condition is output to the user's terminal 10. You may. In this case, a plurality of achievement records may be output to the user's terminal 10 together with the degree of approximation.

The present inventor has been researching whether it is possible to realize a simulator that predicts the life of a catalyst in a desulfurization apparatus using bench plant data. Through such research, the type of catalyst, hydrogen partial pressure, hydrogen oil ratio, etc. It was found that items (operating conditions) such as LHSV, raw material oil density, and sulfur concentration have a particularly large effect on the life of the catalyst. Therefore, the present inventor has found that a plurality of actual records having similar operating conditions have the same total number of operating days without executing a complicated simulation as in Patent Document 1.
Therefore, if we can know the actual results of other desulfurization equipments that are simply operated under operating conditions similar to the user's desulfurization equipment without performing a detailed simulation, the future operation of the user's desulfurization equipment will be to a certain extent. The inventor has noticed that it can be predicted. For example, the life of the catalyst currently used by the user can be estimated from the total number of operating days of other desulfurization equipment operating the same catalyst under similar operating conditions. The present invention was completed based on such awareness.
According to the present invention, the user can know the actual record performed by another user, not the result of the simulation. Therefore, even when it is desired to change the operating conditions significantly, it is easy to carry out the change by referring to the actual record.

<Second embodiment>
Next, the second embodiment of the present invention will be described.
FIG. 8 is a flowchart of the method according to the second embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 8, the main server 20 first executes a user login process (step S11). This login process is the same as the login process (step S01) in the first embodiment described above.
In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the user Y has logged in.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, among the user operating conditions, the planned values for the catalyst, hydrogen partial pressure, hydrogen oil ratio, liquid space velocity, and raw material oil density are determined, and the operating conditions are determined. It is assumed that the user wants to know the life of the catalyst in. Hereinafter, an example in which the user Y plans the user operating conditions shown in FIG. 9 and the system 1 provides the life (total operating days) under the user operating conditions will be described.

Next, the main server 20 acquires at least two items including the catalyst from the user's terminal 10 via the network 40 (step S12). In the example shown in FIG. 9, the main server 20 acquires the catalyst, hydrogen partial pressure, hydrogen oil ratio, LHSV, and raw material oil density from the terminal 10 of the user Y.

Next, the main server 20 refers to the performance database and extracts a performance record containing the same catalyst as the catalyst of the acquired user operating conditions (step S13). For example, the main server 20 determines from the performance database shown in FIG. 2 that the performance records including the catalyst matching the catalyst XX of the user operating condition of the user Y are 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, and 14. These achievement records are extracted as shown in FIG.

Next, the main server 20 calculates the degree of approximation with the user operating conditions for the actual record extracted as shown in FIG. 10 (step S14). Also in this embodiment, the method of calculating the degree of approximation is the same as that of the first embodiment described above. FIG. 11 shows the result of calculating the degree of approximation for the extracted actual record.

Further, the main server 20 identifies the actual record having the highest degree of approximation to the user operating conditions (step S15). In the example shown in FIG. 11, the main server 20 determines that the actual record 1 is closest to the user operating condition of the user Y.

Further, the main server 20 outputs at least the total number of operating days of the actual record specified to be the closest to the user operating condition to the terminal 10 of the user Y via the network 40. FIG. 12 shows a display example to be displayed on the screen of the terminal 10 of the user Y. As shown in FIG. 12, the main server 20 may output performance such as operating conditions, starting temperature, and deterioration rate to the terminal 10 of the user Y in addition to the total number of operating days of the actual record. Further, as shown in FIG. 12, in addition to the actual record having the highest degree of approximation, a plurality of actual records may be output in descending order of the degree of approximation. In this case, a plurality of actual records may be output together with the degree of approximation.

As described above, according to the system 1 and the method according to the present embodiment, the user can know the life of the catalyst from the operation results of the operation under the conditions close to the user operation conditions. As a result, it is possible to refer to the actual operation result, which is far more convincing than the simple calculation result such as simulation. Therefore, the user can operate the desulfurization apparatus more efficiently with reference to the life of the catalyst provided by the present embodiment.

In the present embodiment, in step S13, a record of achievements including the same catalyst as the catalyst of the user operating condition is extracted, and the degree of approximation is calculated only for the extracted achievement record. With such a configuration, the degree of approximation of all the actual records in the actual database is not calculated, so that the processing load on the computer is reduced. However, in step S13, a catalyst that is not the same as the catalyst under the user operating conditions but is similar (for example, a catalyst having the same composition but different catalyst companies provided, or a catalyst belonging to the same series provided by the same catalyst company) is used. It may be configured to include and extract.

<Third Embodiment>
Next, the method according to the third embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 13 is a flowchart of the method according to the third embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 13, the main server 20 executes the user login process (step S21). This login process is the same as the login process (step S01) in the first embodiment described above.

The third embodiment assumes a case where the user has determined at least one of the items of the user operating condition, but has not determined the operating condition other than the determined item, and also wants to know the life of the catalyst. ing. The present embodiment provides the user with a plurality of performance records that approximate the user operating conditions.
Hereinafter, three cases will be described as shown in FIG.
A case where user Z1 determines the hydrogen partial pressure and hydrogen oil ratio among the operating conditions, and wants to know the actual results regarding the type of catalyst, other operating conditions, and life.
A case where the user Z2 has decided to use the catalyst XY among the operating conditions and wants to know other operating conditions and the life.
A case where the user Z3 uses the catalyst XY among the operating conditions to determine the hydrogen partial pressure and the hydrogen oil ratio, and wants to know other operating conditions and the life.

First, it is assumed that the user Z1 is logged in.
The main server 20 acquires at least one or more user operating conditions from the user's terminal 10 via the network 40 (step S22). In the example shown in FIG. 14, the main server 20 acquires the hydrogen partial pressure and the hydrogen oil ratio from the terminal 10 of the user Z1.

Next, the main server 20 determines whether or not the acquired user operating conditions include a catalyst (step S23). Since the user operating condition of the user Z1 does not include the catalyst (step S23: No), the main server 20 calculates the upper limit value and the lower limit value of the extraction range based on the user operating condition.

The extraction range is an element that affects the number of actual records provided to the user that approximate the user operating conditions. The wider the extraction range, the larger the number of performance records provided to the user. If the extraction range is narrow, the number of actual records provided to the user is small. If the extraction range is too wide, there is a high possibility that an actual record that does not approximate the user's operating conditions and is difficult for the user to refer to is also provided to the user.

The extraction range is defined for items represented by numerical values in the user operating conditions. In this embodiment, the hydrogen partial pressure and the hydrogen oil ratio are numerical items. Therefore, the extraction range is determined for each of the hydrogen partial pressure and the hydrogen oil ratio. The upper limit value and the lower limit value that define the extraction range are calculated by multiplying the item represented by a numerical value in the user operating conditions by a predetermined coefficient. The predetermined coefficient may be arbitrarily determined by the operator of the system 1 or may be arbitrarily determined by the user.

In the present embodiment, the main server 20 has a hydrogen partial pressure of 6.0 [MPa] under the user operating conditions, so that this is multiplied by a predetermined coefficient of 0.9 to obtain a lower limit of 5.4 [MPa], which is 1. Multiply by 1 to calculate the upper limit of 6.6 [MPa]. Further, since the hydrogen oil ratio under the user operating conditions is 225, this is multiplied by a predetermined coefficient of 0.9 to calculate the lower limit value of 202.5, and this is multiplied by the predetermined coefficient of 1.1 to calculate the upper limit value of 247.5.
In this way, the main server 20 sets the extraction range as shown in FIG.

The predetermined coefficient may be set to a different value for each item of operating conditions. For example, 1.2 may be set as a predetermined coefficient for calculating the upper limit value of the hydrogen partial pressure, and 1.15 may be set as a predetermined coefficient for calculating the upper limit value of the hydrogen oil ratio.

Next, the main server 20 extracts the actual record included in the set extraction range from the actual database (step S25). Among the performance databases shown in FIG. 2, the performance records in which the hydrogen partial pressure belongs to 5.4 to 6.6 [MPa] and the hydrogen oil ratio belongs to 202.5 to 247.5 are 1 to 6,10,12,15. Therefore, the main server 20 extracts actual records 1 to 6, 10, 12, and 15 as shown in FIG.

Further, the main server 20 outputs at least one or more of the operating conditions and performances of the extracted actual records to the user's terminal 10 via the network 40. In the present embodiment, the main server 20 outputs all the operation condition items and all performance items of the actual records 1 to 6, 10, 12, and 15 to the terminal 10 of the user Z1 via the network 40.

In the present embodiment, the actual record that belongs to the extraction range of the hydrogen partial pressure and belongs to the extraction range of the hydrogen oil ratio is extracted, but it belongs to the extraction range of the hydrogen partial pressure or the hydrogen oil ratio. Achievement records belonging to the extraction range of may be extracted.

Next, an example in which the user Z2 logs in will be described. As shown in FIG. 13, the user Z2 has decided to use the catalyst XY among the operating conditions, and wants to know other operating conditions and the life. In the flowchart of FIG. 14, user Z2 logs in (step S21).

In step S22, the main server 20 acquires the user operating condition of only the catalyst XY from the terminal 10 of the user Z2. The main server 20 determines that the user operating conditions of the user Z2 include a catalyst (step S23: Yes). Subsequently, the main server 20 determines whether or not the user operating conditions include other than the catalyst (step S27). In the present embodiment, the user operating conditions of the user Z2 do not include anything other than the catalyst (step S27: No).

Therefore, the main server 20 extracts the actual record whose catalyst matches from the actual database (step S28), and transfers at least one of the operating conditions and the performance of the extracted actual record to the terminal 10 of the user Z2 via the network 40. Output (step S26). The illustration of the output example that the main server 20 outputs to the terminal 10 of the user Z2 is omitted.

Next, an example in which the user Z3 has logged in will be described. As shown in FIG. 13, the user Z3 uses the catalyst XY and determines the hydrogen partial pressure and the hydrogen oil ratio among the operating conditions, and wants to know the actual results regarding other operating conditions and the life. In the flowchart of FIG. 14, user Z3 logs in (step S21).

In step S22, the main server 20 acquires the user operating conditions of the catalyst, the hydrogen partial pressure, and the hydrogen oil ratio from the terminal 10 of the user Z3. The main server 20 determines that the user operating conditions of the user Z3 include a catalyst (step S23: Yes). Subsequently, the main server 20 determines that the user operating conditions of the user Z3 include other than the catalyst (step S27: Yes).

Therefore, the main server 20 calculates the upper limit value and the lower limit value of the extraction range based on the user operating conditions in the same manner as in step S24 (step S29). Subsequently, the main server 20 extracts the actual record that the catalyst matches and / or is included in the extraction range from the actual database (step S30). At least one or more of the operating conditions and performances of the extracted actual records are output to the terminal 10 of the user Z3 via the network 40 (step S26). The illustration of the output example that the main server 20 outputs to the terminal 10 of the user Z3 is omitted.

As described above, also in the present embodiment, the user can know the operating conditions and the performance operated under the conditions close to the user operating conditions. Further, when there are few items determined by the user among the operating conditions as in the present embodiment, other optimum operating conditions and the life of the catalyst may not be calculated or may be difficult to calculate by the simulation. However, according to this embodiment, it is possible to provide the user with operating conditions and performance even in cases where simulation is not possible / difficult. Thereby, the user can operate the desulfurization apparatus more efficiently with reference to the operating conditions and performance provided by the present embodiment.

The performance database can be created / updated based on the data acquired from the user's terminal 10. For example, raw data including user identification information, user identification information of a scrubbering device, and operating conditions for each elapsed day is acquired from a user terminal 10 via a network 40. Raw data including operating conditions for each elapsed day includes catalyst (catalyst may be changed according to elapsed days), hydrogen partial pressure, hydrogen oil ratio, liquid space velocity, raw material oil density, sulfur concentration, etc. Information recorded for each elapsed day.

The main server 20 performs an averaging process for each item of the operating conditions of the raw data and calculates an average value. The raw data contains obvious sensor errors, etc., and these errors are deleted by the averaging process. Alternatively, since the deterioration of the catalyst may behave differently at the initial stage of operation from that at the time of steady operation, the averaging process is performed so as not to include the data at the initial stage of operation. Alternatively, periods may be set to characterize the behavior of the desulfurization apparatus and the information during these periods may be weighted.
In addition, the number of days from the start date of operation to the number of elapsed days is calculated as the total number of operation days.

The average value of each item of the operating conditions calculated in this way, the total number of operating days, the user's identification information, and the desulfurization apparatus identification information can be added to the actual record as a new actual record. By acquiring a plurality of achievement records from many users in this way, the achievement database can be enriched. As a result, it is possible to provide more useful operating conditions and performance to the user by using the extensive performance database.

Further, if the desulfurization apparatus is different, the life of the catalyst may be different even if the same operating conditions are set. A specific desulfurization device can be defined as a standard desulfurization device, and the difference in life between this standard desulfurization device and another desulfurization device can be defined as a machine difference. By using such a difference, it is possible to provide a life more suitable for the user.

In the example of FIG. 2, as the actual records using the catalyst XY, the actual records 3 and 4 of the device ID: A1, the actual records 8 and 9 of the device ID: A2, and the actual records 10 of the device ID: B1. , There is a record 15 of device ID: C1. When the device ID: A1 is defined as the standard desulfurization device, the machine difference can be calculated for each of the device IDs: A1, B1 and C1. This difference can be expressed as a function in which each item of the operating condition is a variable.

By using such a difference, the catalyst life can be estimated, for example, when the catalyst YY is to be used for the device ID: C1. Although there is no actual record for the device ID: C1, the machine difference with respect to the device ID: B1 of the device ID: C1 is applied to the actual records 11 and 12 using the catalyst YY of the device ID: B1, and the catalyst is applied to the device ID: C1. It is possible to estimate the catalyst life when YY is to be used.

Alternatively, the operating conditions may be corrected by the machine difference correction instead of correcting the catalyst life by the machine difference correction. When there are a plurality of actual records that can obtain the same catalyst life with the same catalyst, a certain desulfurization apparatus can be defined as a standard desulfurization apparatus, and the difference from the operating conditions set for this standard desulfurization apparatus can be defined as a machine difference. When the operating conditions are corrected using the machine difference in this way, the machine difference between the desulfurization device and the user's desulfurization device can be applied when outputting the operating conditions of the actual record that approximates the user operating conditions. It is possible to provide operating conditions suitable for the user's desulfurization equipment.

<Fourth Embodiment>
Next, although the user A has never used the catalyst YY in the user apparatus A1, the catalyst when the catalyst YY is used in the user apparatus A1 is obtained from the actual record when the catalyst YY is operated in another apparatus. The case of providing the characteristic will be described as the fourth embodiment.

FIG. 17 is a graph showing the relationship between the general number of operating days and the operating temperature of the RF device. The catalyst deteriorates as the number of operating days elapses. That is, the reactivity of the catalyst decreases. Therefore, in order to continue to obtain a product of a desired quantity and quality from the start of operation to the end of operation, it is necessary to set the operating temperature high in order to increase the reactivity of the catalyst. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 17, it is necessary to set the operating temperature higher as the number of operating days elapses. The straight line B in FIG. 17 represents the catalyst characteristics. The slope of the straight line B represents the deterioration rate of the catalyst, and the Y-intercept of the straight line B represents the operating temperature (hereinafter referred to as the starting temperature) on the first day of operation. The catalyst properties can be defined by these deterioration rates and starting temperatures.

Therefore, in the present embodiment described below, the user A has never used the catalyst YY in the user device A1 in the past, but the user device A1 is said to be based on the actual record when the catalyst YY is used in another device. A case of estimating the deterioration rate and the starting temperature when the catalyst YY is used will be described.

In the example described below, first, the comparative catalyst XY that has been commonly used in the user apparatus A1 and the comparison apparatus B1 is specified, and the start temperature and the deterioration rate when the comparison catalyst XY is used are used in the user apparatus. Find the difference between A1 and the comparison device B1. By applying the difference to the actual record using the catalyst YY in the comparison device B1, the start temperature and the deterioration rate when the user device A1 uses the comparison catalyst XY are obtained. This will be described in detail below.

FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing the method of the present embodiment. First, the main server 20 acquires the identification information of the user apparatus and the catalyst (user catalyst) scheduled to be used from the user's terminal 10 via the network 40 (step S31). FIG. 19 shows the information acquired from the user A. As shown in FIG. 19, the present embodiment is a case where it is desired to know the start temperature and the deterioration rate when the user apparatus A1 of the user A is operated by using the user catalyst YY.

Next, the main server 20 identifies the first actual record in which the comparison device, which is not the user device, is operated by using the comparison catalyst from the actual record database (step S32). FIG. 20 shows a performance database used in this embodiment. The comparison device is selected from a device having a proven track record of using both the comparative catalyst used in the user device A1 and the user catalyst YY. The comparative catalyst is selected from among the proven catalysts used in both the user device A1 and the comparison device.

This will be specifically described with reference to the example shown in FIG. The device B1 has a track record of using catalysts XY and YY. The catalyst YY has a track record of being used in the user device A1. Therefore, the main server 20 specifies the device B1 as a comparison device and the catalyst XY as a comparison catalyst. Further, the main server 20 specifies the record 10 in which the comparison device B1 is operated by using the comparison catalyst XY as the first record.
When there are a plurality of actual records in which the comparison device is operated using the comparative catalyst, the actual record having the operating conditions closest to the standard operating conditions described later may be specified as the first actual record.

Next, the main server 20 applies the standardization function to the first actual record 10 to determine the first standardization start temperature and the first standardization deterioration rate when the comparison device is operated under the standard operating conditions using the comparison catalyst. Calculate (step S33). FIG. 21 shows an example of calculating the first standardization start temperature and the first standardization deterioration rate.

According to the present inventor, when the hydrogen partial pressure increases from a certain operating condition (first operating condition), the starting temperature becomes lower than the starting temperature when operating under the first operating condition, and the deterioration rate becomes lower than the first operating condition. It was found that it tends to be lower than the deterioration rate when it is operated in. Alternatively, when LHSV increases from the first operating condition, the starting temperature becomes higher than the starting temperature when operated under the first operating condition, and the deterioration rate becomes higher than the deterioration rate when operated under the first operating condition. The present inventor has found that it has a tendency to become.

In this way, when the first operating condition is changed to a certain operating condition (for example, the second operating condition), the starting temperature and the deterioration rate when operated under the second operating condition are operated under the first operating condition. It changes with a certain rule from the starting temperature and the deterioration rate. When an arbitrary operating condition is defined as a standard operating condition, paying attention to such a rule, the starting temperature is set according to the difference between the specific operating condition and the standard operating condition for each item of the operating condition. The correction amount and the correction amount of the deterioration rate can be determined.

The standard operating conditions are hydrogen partial pressure, hydrogen oil ratio, LHSV, raw material oil density, and sulfur concentration, which are set as standard in the desulfurization apparatus. Alternatively, the standard operating conditions may be different for each user device. As the standard operating condition, any one operating condition registered in the actual database may be set. Alternatively, the actual record having the operating condition closest to the specified operating condition set by the system operator may be extracted from the actual record of the user, and the operating condition of this actual record may be set as the standard operating condition. In the example shown in FIG. 21, the operating conditions E0 to J0 are defined as standard operating conditions.

Focusing on such a rule, the start temperature under a standard operating condition can be predicted from the start temperature under a certain operating condition. At this time, in order to obtain the start temperature under the standard operating conditions, the function applied to the start temperature under a certain operating condition is defined as the start temperature standardization function. Similarly, the deterioration rate under standard operating conditions can be predicted from the deterioration rate under certain operating conditions. At this time, in order to obtain the deterioration rate under the standard operating conditions, the function applied to the deterioration rate under a certain operating condition is defined as the deterioration rate standardization function. In this specification, the starting temperature standardization function and the deterioration rate standardization function are collectively referred to as a standardization function. If the standardization function is applied in reverse to the standard operating conditions, the start temperature / deterioration rate under a certain operating condition can be obtained from the starting temperature / deterioration rate under the standard operating conditions.

FIG. 21 shows the first standardization start temperature T_B1_0_XY and the first standardization deterioration rate S_B1_0_XY when the comparison device B1 is operated under the standard operating conditions using the comparison catalyst XY by applying the standardization function to the first actual record 10. Is shown as an example of calculating. The first standardization start temperature T_B1_0_XY is calculated by applying the start temperature standardization function to the start temperature T10 of the first actual record 10. The first standardized deterioration rate S_B1_0_XY is calculated by applying the deterioration rate standardization function to the deterioration rate S10 of the first actual record 10.

Next, the main server 20 identifies the second actual record in which the user apparatus A1 is operated using the comparative catalyst XY from the actual database (step S34). The actual record 3 is a record in which the user apparatus A1 is operated using the comparative catalyst XY. Therefore, the achievement record 3 is specified as the second achievement record.
When there are a plurality of actual records in which the user apparatus is operated using the comparative catalyst, the actual record having the operating condition closest to the standard operating condition may be specified as the second actual record.

Next, the main server 20 applies the standardization function to the second actual record 3, and the second standardization start temperature T_A1_0_XY and the second standardization deterioration when the user apparatus A1 is operated under the standard operating conditions using the comparative catalyst XY. Calculate the velocity S_A1_0_XY (step S35). FIG. 22 shows an example of calculating the second standardization start temperature and the second standardization deterioration rate. As shown in FIG. 22, the start temperature standardization function is applied to the start temperature T3 of the second actual record 3 to calculate the second standardization start temperature T_A1_0_XY. The second standardized deterioration rate S_A1_0_XY is calculated by applying the deterioration rate standardization function to the deterioration rate S3 of the second actual record 3.

Next, the main server 20 subtracts the second standardization start temperature from the first standardization start temperature to calculate the difference between the start temperature of the user device and the comparison device regarding the start temperature (step S36).
In general, even if the same operating conditions are set for different devices, the catalyst does not always deteriorate in the same manner. For example, depending on the device, the entire amount of the feedstock oil may not react due to the layout of the piping, and the life of the catalyst may expire earlier than the ideal life under certain operating conditions. The layout of the piping is usually different for each device, and due to such a difference, the degree of shortening from the ideal catalyst life differs for each device.
In this way, showing different reactions for each device under the same operating conditions can be called a machine difference. This machine difference can be used to compare the performance of different devices using the same catalyst under the same operating conditions.

In the present embodiment, as shown in the following formula (1), the first standardization start temperature T_B1_0_XY when the comparison device B1 is operated using the comparison catalyst XY under the standard operating conditions, and the user device A1 uses the comparison catalyst XY. The difference from the second standardization start temperature T_A1_0_XY when operated under standard operating conditions is calculated as the start temperature machine difference ΔT.
ΔT = T_B1_0_XY － T_A1_0_XY Equation (1)

Further, the main server 20 divides the first standardized deterioration rate by the second standardized deterioration rate to calculate the difference in the deterioration rate of the user device with respect to the comparison device regarding the deterioration rate (step S37).
In the present embodiment, as shown in the following equation (2), the first standardized deterioration rate S_B1_0_XY when the comparison device B1 is operated using the comparison catalyst XY under standard operating conditions, and the user device A1 uses the comparison catalyst XY. The ratio with the second standardized deterioration rate S_A1_0_XY when operated under standard operating conditions is calculated as the deterioration rate machine difference ΔS.
ΔS = S_B1_0_XY / S_A1_0_XY Equation (2)

Next, the main server 20 identifies the third actual record in which the comparison device is operated using the user catalyst from the actual database (step S38). In the performance database shown in FIG. 20, the performance record 11 is a record in which the comparison device B1 is operated using the user catalyst YY. Therefore, the main server 20 specifies the achievement record 11 as the third achievement record.
When there are a plurality of actual records in which the comparison device is operated using the user catalyst, the actual record having the operating condition closest to the standard operating condition may be specified as the third actual record.

Next, the main server 20 applies a standardization function to the third actual record to calculate the third standardization start temperature and the third standardization deterioration rate when the comparison device is operated under the standard operating conditions using the user catalyst. (Step S39). FIG. 23 shows an example of calculating the third standardization start temperature and the third standardization deterioration rate.
As shown in FIG. 23, when the start temperature standardization function is applied to the start temperature T11 of the third actual record 11, the third standardization start temperature T_A1_0_YY is calculated. The third standardized deterioration rate S_A1_0_XY is calculated by applying the deterioration rate standardization function to the deterioration rate S11 of the third actual record 11.

Next, the main server 20 adds the start temperature difference to the third standardization start temperature to calculate the user start temperature when the user apparatus is operated under the standard operating conditions using the user catalyst (step S40). FIG. 24 shows an example of calculating the user start temperature and the user deterioration rate. As shown in FIG. 24, the user start temperature is calculated by adding the start temperature machine difference ΔT to the third standardization start temperature T_A1_0_YY.

Further, the main server 20 multiplies the third standardized deterioration rate by the deterioration rate machine difference to calculate the user deterioration rate when the user apparatus is operated under the standard operating conditions using the user catalyst (step S41). As shown in FIG. 24, the user deterioration rate is calculated by multiplying the third standardized deterioration rate S_A1_0_YY by the deterioration rate machine difference ΔS.

The main server 20 may transmit the user start temperature and the user deterioration rate to the user terminal 10 via the network.

Alternatively, the main server 20 acquires the upper limit temperature of the user device, and the operating temperature reaches the upper limit temperature when the user device operates the user catalyst YY under the standard operating conditions based on the user start temperature, the user deterioration rate, and the upper limit temperature. The number of days up to is calculated, and this number of days may be transmitted to the user's terminal 10 as the life of the catalyst YY.

If the user start temperature and the user deterioration rate can be calculated, the characteristics of the catalyst YY can be shown as a straight line B as shown in FIG. The user start temperature is the Y-intercept of the straight line B, and the user deterioration rate is the slope of the straight line B. The upper limit temperature can be expressed as a straight line C parallel to the X axis, and the value on the horizontal axis at the intersection of the straight line B and the straight line C is the life of the catalyst YY.

Alternatively, the main server 20 acquires the specified number of operating days of the user device, and the operating temperature when the user device operates the user catalyst YY under the standard operating conditions for the specified number of operating days based on the user start temperature, the user deterioration rate, and the specified number of operating days. May be calculated and this operating temperature may be transmitted to the user's terminal 10 as the final temperature reached of the catalyst YY.
In FIG. 17, the specified number of operating days can be expressed as a straight line D parallel to the Y axis, and the value on the vertical axis at the intersection of the straight line B and the straight line D is the final temperature reached by the catalyst YY.

In this way, even if there is no record of using the catalyst YY in the user device A1, by using the track record of other users, the start temperature and deterioration rate, or the life and final reached temperature when the catalyst YY is used. Can be predicted. At this time, by considering the machine difference, it is possible to provide a prediction more suitable for the user device. In addition, this method can be performed without requiring a complicated simulation that reflects a complicated reaction formula for each component of the raw material oil, and the difference between the devices can be easily corrected. According to the present embodiment, there is provided a system and a method for providing catalyst characteristics when a user's desired catalyst is used in the user's device based on the actual value of the desulfurization device.

Further, in the present embodiment, the user start temperature and the user deterioration rate when operating under the standard operating conditions are calculated. For example, for one or more catalysts that have been used in the user equipment, the start temperature and deterioration rate when operated under standard operating conditions are calculated, and the user start temperature and user deterioration rate are transmitted to the user terminal 10 together with these. You may. This allows the user to compare the catalyst that has been used with the user catalyst.

As shown in FIG. 18, the main server 20 may be configured to acquire the user scheduled operation conditions (E to J) scheduled to be executed by the user from the user terminal 10. The user start temperature and the user deterioration rate calculated in steps S40 and S41 are numerical values under standard operating conditions. Therefore, by applying the standardization function to the user start temperature and the user deterioration rate in reverse, the start temperature (second user start temperature) and the deterioration rate (second user deterioration rate) under the user's planned operating conditions can be obtained.
