Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of petroleum refining and petrochemical production, and in particular to a method for constructing a diesel fraction molecular library and predicting diesel molecular composition based on conventional diesel detection means. Background Art

[0002] In the process of molecular management of oil processing, the molecular composition of fractions and oil products is the basic information required. Reasonable and complete description of the molecular structure and content of each stream in the processing process is of great significance for refineries to manage the oil processing process at the molecular level. At present, for components with a boiling point higher than gasoline, the mainstream analysis method cannot provide qualitative and quantitative information on all molecular details, and the same is true for diesel fractions. Therefore, it is particularly important to predict the molecular composition of diesel fractions by constructing a model of the molecular composition of diesel fractions based on conventional detection methods.

[0003] The existing molecular composition models can be summarized into two types: maximum information entropy method and random reconstruction method. The basic principle of the maximum information entropy method is to try to ensure the inherent uncertainty in the processed information and reduce the loss of information without knowing the exact information. In the construction of diesel molecular composition, the maximum entropy method means erasing the difference in molecular concentration, that is, taking the average value. It can be seen from the literature and related experimental reports that the concentration of petroleum molecules at different carbon numbers meets a certain distribution law, rather than being uniform, so the assumption of maximum information entropy is biased. The random reconstruction method requires the construction of tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of virtual molecules, and only this number can keep the parameters for various properties stable. It can be seen that this method has a large randomness, low computational efficiency, and limited optimization ability of the optimization algorithm, making it difficult to optimize to the global optimum.

[0004] In general, the existing molecular composition model still has major defects and does not yet have a practical basis. The reasons are: 1) The experimental data and the objective laws of petroleum molecule distribution are not fully utilized, resulting in a large deviation between the calculated molecular composition and the actual; 2) The scale is too small when the single molecule concentration is used as a variable for adjustment, and there are too many optimization variables, which will increase the burden of the optimization algorithm, making the optimization algorithm's optimization ability limited, slow, and convergence impossible to guarantee, and the result is not a global solution; 3) The adjustment method using the single molecule concentration as a variable makes the molecular composition model too extensive. As a result, in the final result, there are some molecules with too large concentrations that are uncontrollable, which affects practical applications. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present invention aims to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings and provides a method for constructing a diesel fraction molecular library and predicting diesel molecular composition based on conventional diesel detection means. The present invention makes full use of the existing laboratory detection results to establish a model that can more realistically reflect the objective diesel molecular distribution law; through the established diesel fraction molecular distribution model, a diesel fraction molecular composition with a high degree of consistency with the molecular composition detected by the instrument is obtained.
