TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of chemical production, in particular to an accurate online dilution system and a dilution method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the field of chemical production, it is often necessary to control the concentration of raw material solution within a certain range before it enters the reaction kettle, so that the chemical reaction in the reaction kettle is affected by the concentration of the raw material solution, and the product performance stability is improved.
[0003] Currently, in the field of chemical manufacturing, as shown in the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 The traditional solution dilution method is to first detect the concentration of the mother liquor, which can be mass concentration, volume concentration or mass-volume concentration, and then mix it into the buffer tank according to the concentration, and then take offline samples for analysis to detect whether the diluted concentration is qualified. This dilution method is basically manual dilution by workers, and chemical analysis or instrument offline analysis is used in the analysis room. This method will artificially produce various errors, resulting in inconsistent concentration of each batch of diluted solution, ultimately causing risks in the production process.
[0004] In the exploration of automatic dilution of mother liquor, basically, it is no longer necessary for technical personnel to participate in calculation and cooperate with production site for industrial production, but there are still some defects:
[0005] The primary version of the online dilution method seeks a patent with application number 201910389783.X and the invention name of "intelligent digital online dilution system". Its method is to integrate different concentrations of mother liquor and proportioning for user selection, combining different formulations to dilute into different target concentrations for different process use, but it still needs to detect the concentration of the mother liquor, and the diluted mother liquor still enters the buffer tank, which cannot save space and equipment investment;
[0006] And in the patent with authorized announcement number CN212881919U and the utility model name of "a medicament automatic online dilution device", the online dilution method is to use a concentration controller to monitor the concentration in real time. However, there is no so-called concentration controller for all medicaments on the market, even if there is, it is a customized conversion display method for specific medicaments by instrument manufacturers. This utility model is general and speculates the core control equipment. It does not explain the key technical principles of concentration monitoring and does not provide the concentration detection algorithm. The implementation difficulty is extremely great, and it needs to customize the instrument and cooperate with the instrument manufacturers;
[0007] The invention with the publication number CN102830670B and the invention name of "on-line dilution of sugar material and its dilution method" further improves the on-line dilution method, which is to write the dilution data table of the relationship between the dilution multiple and the unit water weight of the original brix, density and dilution brix of the stored material in the sugar boiling process into the input end of the controller, and then to obtain the output value according to the input value. However, the defect of this method is that the brix and density parameters are continuously changing values in the actual production, and the table is only isolated data, which cannot be matched with the input value in the actual situation, but only can be approximated to the existing query value, and then the approximate output value is obtained according to the query value.
[0008] In addition, the monitored brix, density and other parameters are also affected by temperature, and the invention only considers the temperature of hot water without considering that the brix and density of the mother liquor are also affected by temperature, which is unreasonable and inaccurate. SUMMARY
[0009] The purpose of the present application is to provide an accurate on-line dilution system and its dilution method to solve the problems of the background art, such as the need for repeated sampling and concentration detection, the need for technical personnel to calculate the feeding amount or the feeding amount on site, and the inaccurate detection.
[0010] To achieve the above purpose, the present application provides the following technical solution: an accurate on-line dilution system, comprising a concentrated mother liquor tank, a solvent tank and a reaction kettle, the lower part of the concentrated mother liquor tank is connected with the inlet end of a pipeline mixer through a pipeline one, the outlet end of the pipeline mixer is connected with a pipeline three and a pipeline four respectively, the other end of the pipeline three is connected with the top of the concentrated mother liquor tank, the other end of the pipeline four is connected with the reaction kettle, the lower part of the solvent tank is connected with the inlet end of the pipeline mixer through a pipeline two, and an instrument set one is installed on the solvent tank;
[0011] A pump one, an instrument set two and several valves are installed on the pipeline one, a pump two and several valves are installed on the pipeline two, valves are installed on the pipeline three and the pipeline four, and an instrument set three is installed on the connection of the pipeline three and the pipeline four and the outlet end of the pipeline mixer.
[0012] The dilution method of the accurate on-line dilution system is as follows:
[0013] First step: open the pump one and the corresponding valves on the pipeline one and the pipeline three, close the pump two and the valves on the pipeline two and the pipeline four, obtain the characteristic parameter value and the temperature value of the concentrated mother liquor through the instrument set two and the instrument set three, obtain the temperature value of the solvent through the instrument set one, and the system automatically calculates the flow rate and the cumulative flow of the mother liquor and the solvent according to the requirements of the feeding temperature, the concentration, the flow rate, the cumulative flow and other aspects of the reaction kettle;
[0014] Second step: the control element receives the control requirement of the first step, and automatically opens the valve of pipeline three. Although there is no flow meter in the pipeline, the instrument set two and the instrument set three can be combined to control and make PID adjustment control between the pump one of the pipeline one, so that the concentrated mother liquor and the solvent are mixed in the pipeline mixer, the concentration value of the physical property parameter of the mixed dilution solution is detected, if it does not meet the target value, the mixed solution returns to the concentrated mother liquor tank, and the feeding speed of the mother liquor and the pure water is adjusted in real time until the concentration of the dilution solution is within the target control range of the user;
[0015] Third step: after the physical property parameter conversion concentration value is within the qualified range, the system automatically closes the valve on the pipeline three, opens the valve on the pipeline four, and the mixed qualified solution enters the reaction kettle, and the cumulative flow and temperature value of the dilution solution entering the reaction kettle are monitored, and the whole automatic precise online dilution process is completed.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the precise online dilution system are:
[0017] 1. The whole automatic dilution process only needs the user to provide the target temperature, the target concentration and the target flow, does not need to detect the concentration of the mother liquor, does not need to detect the concentration of the dilution solution, but can ensure that the concentration value and the flow after dilution are within the target range of the customer, the whole process is automatically completed by the system, and manual parameter control is not needed;
[0018] 2. The dilution buffer tank and the peripheral pumps, valves, instruments and other equipment facilities are cancelled, the mother liquor and the solvent are directly mixed in the pipeline mixer, not only the investment of fixed assets such as equipment is saved, but also the plant space is saved, the mixed solution in the pipeline enters the reaction kettle, the concentration accuracy under the actual working condition is ensured, and the metering accuracy is ensured;
[0019] 3. Since the detection and feeding supplement links are omitted, the automatic dilution system of the scheme has extremely low running cost, which is far lower than that of the traditional solution dilution method;
[0020] 4. Since the online dilution process control method is completely in the real working condition, the feedback is the solution concentration under the real working condition, rather than the concentration under the offline non-working condition, which is more conducive to improving the product stability and consistency.
