Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of activated carbon regeneration technology, specifically relating to a dynamic and precise control system and method for activated carbon desorption steam. Background Technology

[0002] Activated carbon adsorption is a mainstream technology for the treatment of industrial volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Its desorption process generally employs steam thermal regeneration, specifically using steam to desorb the adsorbates from the activated carbon. Steam enters from the top of the desorption unit, heating the activated carbon bed and desorbing the adsorbed organic matter. The resulting mixed steam is condensed to recover the liquid mixture, which is then separated and reused by an oil-water separator.

[0003] Current control strategies are mainly divided into two categories. One is the timed desorption mode, which starts desorption after running for a fixed number of hours, ignoring the actual matching adsorption load. The other is constant flow steam control, which continuously supplies steam according to the maximum design load, causing excessive injection during low load periods.

[0004] However, VOC emissions from industries such as printing and pharmaceuticals fluctuate depending on operating conditions, with concentration differences between peak and trough periods exceeding 10 times. Timed desorption strategies cannot adapt to these fluctuating conditions. Furthermore, existing gas sensors (such as PID / FID) can only detect instantaneous concentrations and cannot perform real-time statistics and calculations on the cumulative adsorption amount over a certain period. This results in the inability to desorb based on the actual adsorption amount, meaning the desorption steam volume cannot be adjusted according to the VOC adsorption amount, failing to achieve "on-demand allocation." Consequently, this leads to excessive steam supply at low loads and incomplete desorption at high loads, affecting not only the activated carbon desorption and regeneration effect but also causing energy waste and increasing desorption costs.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a steam on-demand regulation technology based on VOC adsorption capacity to break through the crude control paradigm of "timed / quantitative" control and achieve precise steam supply, which is of great significance for practical applications. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems in existing technologies where the steam volume for activated carbon desorption cannot be adjusted on demand according to the VOC adsorption amount, resulting in unsatisfactory activated carbon desorption effects and excessive energy supply. Therefore, this invention provides a dynamic and precise steam control system and method for activated carbon desorption.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention proposes the following technical solution: A dynamic and precise control system for activated carbon desorption steam includes several regeneration adsorption tanks, steam regulating valves, valves, gas detectors, and a control system. The regeneration adsorption tank includes an activated carbon assembly, an adsorption inlet, an adsorption outlet, a desorption inlet, and a desorption outlet, with the activated carbon assembly disposed inside the regeneration adsorption tank. The valves are respectively installed at the adsorption inlet, the adsorption outlet, the desorption inlet, and the desorption outlet; The steam regulating valve is connected to several of the regeneration adsorption tanks respectively. The steam passes through the steam regulating valve, then through the valve at the desorption inlet, and finally enters the corresponding regeneration adsorption tank. The gas detector is installed at least at the adsorption inlet, the adsorption outlet, and the bottom of the regeneration adsorption tank, and is used to detect the inlet gas parameters, the outlet gas parameters, and the concentration of waste gas remaining in the regeneration adsorption tank after desorption. The control system is electrically connected to the steam regulating valve, the valve, and the gas detector; The control system receives detection data from the gas detector, determines the real-time adsorption amount of waste gas in the regeneration adsorption tank and the required desorption steam amount based on the detection data, and controls the opening and closing of the corresponding valves based on the real-time adsorption amount of waste gas and the desorption steam amount so that the regeneration adsorption tank enters the desorption mode. Then, after the desorption mode ends, the desorption steam amount for the next desorption mode is adjusted based on the residual waste gas concentration in the regeneration adsorption tank.

[0008] Furthermore, the calculation formula used in the control system includes: ; Where S is the amount of desorption steam; k α M is the dynamic constant; VOC Real-time integration of waste gas adsorption; ;

[0009] Q in Q is the intake airflow rate; out C is the airflow rate. in Intake concentration; C out This refers to the concentration of the emitted gas.

[0010] Furthermore, the calculation formula also includes: ;

[0011] Where k α The dynamic constant is α; α is an integer greater than or equal to 1, representing the number of desorption cycles in the regeneration adsorption tank; C n C represents the residual exhaust gas concentration; C is the preset target value for the residual exhaust gas concentration. When α=1, k0=1, where k0 is the initial value of the dynamic constant; After the desorption mode ends, the control system adjusts the dynamic constant according to the residual waste gas concentration in the regeneration adsorption tank, and then adjusts the amount of desorption steam required for the next desorption. The k α The adjustment range is 0.6-1.5.

[0012] Furthermore, the regeneration adsorption tank also includes a cooling spray system, which is located above the activated carbon assembly and is used to regulate the temperature of the activated carbon assembly.

[0013] Furthermore, the adsorption inlet and desorption outlet are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the lower end of the regeneration adsorption tank, and the desorption inlet and adsorption outlet are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the upper end of the regeneration adsorption tank.

[0014] Furthermore, the valve includes an adsorption shut-off valve and a desorption regulating valve; wherein the adsorption shut-off valve is respectively disposed at the adsorption inlet and the adsorption outlet; and the desorption regulating valve is respectively disposed at the desorption inlet and the desorption outlet.

[0015] Furthermore, several of the aforementioned regeneration adsorption tanks are arranged in parallel, and the number of the regeneration adsorption tanks is n+2, which are used to simultaneously adsorb and desorb waste gas; where n is an integer greater than or equal to 1. The number of regeneration adsorption tanks is n+2. When adsorbing waste gas, at least one regeneration adsorption tank desorbs the waste gas, and one regeneration adsorption tank is cooled and kept in reserve; where n is an integer greater than or equal to 1. The number of regeneration adsorption tanks is n+2. When desorbing waste gas, at least one of the regeneration adsorption tanks adsorbs the waste gas, and one of the regeneration adsorption tanks is cooled and kept in reserve; where n is an integer greater than or equal to 1. The regeneration adsorption tank is used in an alternating cycle of adsorption, desorption, and cooling modes.

[0016] A control method for a dynamic and precise control system for activated carbon desorption steam includes the following: (1) The waste gas enters several parallel regeneration adsorption tanks through the valve at the adsorption inlet. The preset adsorption volume of the regeneration adsorption tank is M0. The gas detector detects and records the inlet and outlet parameters of each individual regeneration adsorption tank. The control system calculates the real-time integral M of the waste gas adsorption according to the preset formula. VOC When M VOC When the set value is reached, the adsorption cut-off valve is closed, the desorption regulating valve is opened, and the desorption program of the corresponding regeneration adsorption tank is started. (2) The control system is based on M VOCThe desorption steam quantity is calculated using a preset formula. The steam regulating valve is opened, and the control system precisely controls the opening of the steam regulating valve and the desorption regulating valve. Steam with the same amount of desorption steam is sequentially passed through the steam regulating valve and the desorption regulating valve into the corresponding regeneration adsorption tank to complete the desorption. (3) After desorption is completed, the control system adjusts the preset formula dynamic constant according to the residual waste gas concentration in the regeneration adsorption tank to precisely optimize the amount of steam for the next desorption.

[0017] Furthermore, when M VOC When M0 is ≥ 0.8, close the adsorption cut-off valve, open the desorption regulating valve, and start the desorption program of the corresponding regeneration adsorption tank.

[0018] Furthermore, after the regenerated adsorption tank that has completed desorption is cooled and ready for use, it enters the adsorption process. When M VOC When the set value is reached or the adsorption time reaches the set value, the desorption process will resume.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this invention are: (1) This invention sets up a control system to dynamically quantify and match the amount of VOCs adsorption and the amount of steam, thereby achieving accurate control of the amount of desorption steam based on the amount of VOCs adsorbed in real time, ensuring energy saving and reducing consumption, reducing steam supply errors, and significantly reducing steam energy consumption; at the same time, it accurately controls the amount of desorption steam based on the amount of VOCs adsorption, greatly improving the activated carbon desorption rate, avoiding the problem of instantaneous overload caused by control response lag, and solving the problems of incomplete activated carbon desorption and steam energy waste in the prior art.

[0020] (2) This invention realizes precise on-demand control of steam supply based on the amount of waste gas adsorption. It constructs a dynamic constant self-learning closed-loop mechanism based on the feedback of residual concentration after desorption, realizes the dynamic constant's dynamic evolution in adaptability to working conditions, avoids the long-term control failure problem caused by the solidification of empirical parameters, ensures that the amount of desorption steam output by the control system is closely related to the performance of activated carbon, eliminates the problem of steam energy waste caused by the decline in the performance of activated carbon, and at the same time, the reasonable and accurate amount of desorption steam also greatly improves the service life of activated carbon, so that the performance and service life of activated carbon can be quantified through dynamic constant, thereby facilitating the replacement of activated carbon components at the appropriate time, and ensuring that the overall system adsorption and desorption performance meets the standards.

[0021] (3) By using multiple regenerated adsorption tanks in parallel, this invention enables simultaneous adsorption and desorption in the overall system, avoiding the impact of activated carbon desorption on the adsorption conditions, and achieving uninterrupted adsorption-desorption treatment. It also avoids the downtime of the buffer device due to equipment failure or sudden situations, thus avoiding resource waste and safety risks. The range of air volume that can be treated is wider. The overall system design is reasonable and simple, equipped with an automated control system, and the intelligent control system is automatically adjusted according to the performance of activated carbon. It can be widely used in VOCs waste gas treatment in various industrial production scenarios.

[0060] The exhaust gas enters the regeneration adsorption tank, which initiates the adsorption process, through pipelines from the pretreatment system. The adsorption process is controlled by the adsorption inlet shut-off valve. After pretreatment, the exhaust gas enters the regeneration adsorption tank through the adsorption inlet at the bottom, passes through the activated carbon assembly, and exits the tank through the adsorption outlet at the top.

[0062] The above-mentioned cooling spray system uses conventional technology in this field, which will not be described in detail here.

[0063] Superheated steam is introduced from the steam source and delivered to the overall system through the steam main. A steam regulating valve 4 is installed on the steam main to control the total amount of steam entering the system. The output end of the steam main is connected to the first regeneration adsorption tank 1, the second regeneration adsorption tank 2, and the third regeneration adsorption tank 3 via steam branch lines. Steam enters the tank body through the desorption inlet regulating valve. The total amount of steam in the system is adjusted by the opening of the steam regulating valve, and then the amount of steam entering the corresponding regeneration adsorption tank is controlled by the opening of the desorption inlet regulating valve.

[0064] Steam enters the regeneration adsorption tank from the top and passes downward through the activated carbon assembly. Under steam purging, the organic matter adsorbed by the activated carbon is desorbed from its interior. The organic matter vapor containing water vapor leaves the tank from the desorption outlet at the bottom and is fed into the desorption cooling system through a pipeline.

[0065] The desorption and cooling system employs conventional technology in the field, specifically including a condenser, which converts organic vapor containing water vapor from a gaseous state to a liquid state, facilitating subsequent recycling and reuse. Details will not be elaborated here.

[0066] The control system is electrically connected to the steam regulating valve, desorption inlet regulating valve, desorption outlet regulating valve, adsorption inlet shut-off valve, adsorption outlet shut-off valve, gas detector, and cooling spray system, and can accept data detected by the gas detector.

[0067] Specifically, a PLC control system is adopted. Through data synchronous transmission and edge computing to receive data packets, the PLC control system calculates the real-time adsorption capacity of activated carbon and the required desorption steam volume according to the preset formula. It controls the valve opening of the steam regulating valve and the desorption inlet regulating valve, and introduces the corresponding amount of desorption steam into the regeneration adsorption tank. After the desorption is completed, the regeneration adsorption tank is dried and cooled. The dynamic constant of the preset formula is adjusted according to the residual waste gas concentration in the tank, thereby realizing the dynamic mapping of the desorption steam volume based on the waste gas adsorption capacity, and then the optimization adjustment of the parameter self-learning closed loop.

[0068] In some optional embodiments, the control system has n+2 (where n is an integer ≥1) regeneration adsorption tanks connected in parallel, wherein at least one or more regeneration adsorption tanks can simultaneously enter the adsorption or desorption process. For example, n regeneration adsorption tanks enter the adsorption process, 1 regeneration adsorption tank enters the desorption process, and 1 regeneration adsorption tank is cooled and ready for use; or n regeneration adsorption tanks enter the desorption process, 1 regeneration adsorption tank enters the adsorption process, and 1 regeneration adsorption tank is cooled and ready for use. The specific configuration can be adjusted according to the actual working conditions and requirements.

[0069] Each regeneration adsorption tank has its own desorption steam quantity calculated by the control system, thereby optimizing the dynamic constant.

[0070] See attached document Figure 2The control method of the above-mentioned activated carbon desorption steam dynamic precision control system includes the following: (1) The waste gas enters several parallel regeneration adsorption tanks through the valve at the adsorption inlet. The preset adsorption volume of the regeneration adsorption tank is M0. The gas detector detects and records the inlet and outlet parameters of each individual regeneration adsorption tank. The control system calculates the real-time integral M of the waste gas adsorption according to the preset formula. VOC When M VOC When the set value is reached, the adsorption cut-off valve is closed, the desorption regulating valve is opened, and the desorption program of the corresponding regeneration adsorption tank is started. (2) The control system is based on M VOC The desorption steam quantity is calculated using a preset formula. The steam regulating valve is opened, and the control system precisely controls the opening of the steam regulating valve and the desorption regulating valve. Steam with the same amount of desorption steam is sequentially passed through the steam regulating valve and the desorption regulating valve into the corresponding regeneration adsorption tank to complete the desorption. (3) After desorption is completed, the control system adjusts the preset formula dynamic constant according to the residual waste gas concentration in the regeneration adsorption tank to precisely optimize the amount of steam for the next desorption.

[0071] When M VOC When M0 is ≥ 0.8, close the adsorption shut-off valve, open the desorption regulating valve, and start the desorption program of the corresponding regeneration adsorption tank.

[0072] Specifically, M VOC The setpoint is usually set to 0.8 M0. When the dynamic adsorption capacity of activated carbon drops to 80% of the design value, the activated carbon needs to be replaced. Alternatively, M can be set according to actual operating conditions. VOC Setting value.

[0073] The preset formulas include: ;

[0074] Where S is the amount of desorption steam; k α M is a dynamic constant. VOC This is the real-time integral of waste gas adsorption.

[0075] ; Q in Q is the intake airflow rate; out C is the airflow rate. in Intake concentration; C out This refers to the concentration of the emitted gas.

[0076] ; Where k α C is a dynamic constant; α is an integer greater than or equal to 1, representing the number of desorption cycles in the corresponding regeneration adsorption tank; nC represents the residual exhaust gas concentration; C is the preset target value for the residual exhaust gas concentration, which can be set according to emission limits.

[0077] When α=1, k0=1, where k0 is the initial value of the dynamic constant. That is, during the initial desorption, k can be preset to k0, and the required steam volume is calculated based on k0. After desorption, the value of k0 is adjusted according to the residual waste gas concentration to obtain the dynamic constant k1. During the second desorption, the required steam volume is calculated based on k1, and after desorption, the value of k1 is adjusted according to the residual waste gas concentration to obtain the dynamic constant k2, which is then used in the third desorption procedure. This allows the preset formula dynamic constant of the control system to achieve self-learning and dynamic evolution, adapting to operating conditions and activated carbon adsorption performance.

[0078] To prevent over-regulation, k is set. α The adjustment range is 0.6-1.5.

[0079] After the regenerated adsorption tank has completed desorption and cooled for standby, it enters the adsorption process. When M VOC When the set value or adsorption time is reached, the desorption process is restarted to achieve a cycle of adsorption-desorption.

[0080] Specifically, when a single regeneration adsorption tank completes its desorption process and enters the adsorption process, other parallel regeneration adsorption tanks also cycle through the adsorption-desorption-cooling mode using the same method. When more than one regeneration adsorption tank enters the desorption process, the amount of steam introduced through the steam regulating valve is the sum of the desorption steam amounts calculated by the control system. The amount of steam entering the corresponding regeneration adsorption tank is controlled by adjusting the opening of the desorption regulating valve. The control system adjusts the preset formula dynamic constant for each individual regeneration adsorption tank to achieve precise control of the desorption steam amount for that tank. Furthermore, after each desorption process, the dynamic constant in the corresponding preset formula is optimized to ensure dynamic and precise control of the desorption steam amount based on the activated carbon's lifespan.
