Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the fields of chemical distillation processes and automation control, and in particular to a method, apparatus, system and storage medium for dynamic process control of a partitioned column. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, many types of trichlorosilane distillation technologies have been developed for practical application, such as traditional two-tower processes, three-tower processes, differential pressure thermal coupling distillation, and multi-effect distillation. The application of these distillation technologies provides a strong guarantee for the preparation of high-purity trichlorosilane. However, the only drawback is that the energy consumption required in the process is huge, and the initial equipment investment is large, which makes the cost of producing high-purity trichlorosilane remain high.

[0003] The introduction of a baffle column reduces the energy consumption of separating chlorosilane systems. For chlorosilanes, a three-component mixture, the boiling points of the various components are not significantly different, making this system suitable for baffle column distillation processes. Because the baffle column has the most ideal thermodynamic system structure, it requires less heat and condensation consumption in the purification of trichlorosilane compared to traditional processes, significantly reducing energy consumption and thus lowering production costs.

[0004] The complex interactions between variables in the adjacent column and the difficulties in process control when feed disturbances occur in the adjacent column hinder the widespread application of adjacent column structures. Therefore, how to restore product purity to its original set value within a short time and with a small overshoot after a feed disturbance has become an important research direction for those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

Therefore, "in one embodiment" or "in an embodiment" appearing throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. Furthermore, these specific features, structures, or characteristics can be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments.

[0060] In the various embodiments of this application, it should be understood that the sequence number of each process described below does not imply the order of execution. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of this application.

For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, or B existing alone.

[0062] In the embodiments provided in this application, it should be understood that "B corresponding to A" means that B is associated with A, and B can be determined based on A. However, it should also be understood that determining B based on A does not mean determining B solely based on A; B can also be determined based on A and / or other information.

[0063] See Figure 1 One embodiment of this application provides a method for dynamic process control of a partition tower, comprising:

[0064] Step S101: Obtain the first parameter information of the adjacent tower. The first parameter information includes: the first heat load of the reboiler, the second heat load of the condenser, the temperature difference of the feed section, and the temperature difference of the side stream outlet section.

[0065] Step S102: Based on the first parameter information, and the adaptive neural fuzzy inference system and MPC model, control information is obtained through joint processing. The control information includes: the liquid phase flow rate allocated from the common rectification section to the feed section, the first outflow rate of the side stream outflow section, and the reflux flow rate at the top of the column.

[0066] Step S103: Control the adjacent tower according to the control information.

[0067] In this embodiment, when performing dynamic process control on the partition column (i.e., the partition distillation column), based on the structure of the partition column and the equipment connected to it, first parameter information related to the partition column is obtained. Specifically, this first parameter information includes: the first heat load of the reboiler, the second heat load of the condenser, the feed section temperature difference, and the side-stream outlet temperature difference. It should be noted that the partition column is divided into a common rectification section near the top, a common stripping section near the bottom, a feed section with a feed inlet in the middle, and a side-stream outlet in the middle by a partition plate in the middle. The reboiler is connected to the bottom of the partition column, and the condenser is connected to the top of the partition column. Since the first heat load of the reboiler and the feed section temperature difference are related to feed disturbances, and the second heat load of the condenser and the side-stream outlet temperature difference are related to component extraction, this first parameter information is used as the dependent variable for control of the partition column.

[0068] Specifically, in the control process, the first step involves jointly processing the acquired first parameter information with a pre-built adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system and MPC model to obtain the control information required for controlling the adjacent column. This control information represents the target state that the adjacent column needs to achieve, specifically including the liquid flow rate allocated from the common rectification section to the feed section, the first outflow rate from the side-stream outflow section, and the reflux flow rate at the top of the column. Furthermore, by controlling the adjacent column according to this control information, adaptive adjustments can be made to address feed disturbances, allowing it to quickly return to its original setpoint. In summary, this embodiment, by employing a combined control system of an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system and an MPC model, solves the control problems of difficulty in real-time component measurement and strong variable coupling during the rectification process, thus improving dynamic control performance. Moreover, the breakthrough of using temperature difference as a control point better addresses control problems such as variable coupling, effectively resisting disturbances in feed flow rate and feed composition, thus meeting product specifications while achieving control results with smaller overshoot, transition time, and oscillation. Simultaneously, it reduces the frequency of manual operation, effectively ensuring the safety performance of the production process.

[0069] It should be noted that the goal of control through the MPC model and adaptive neurofuzzy inference system is to minimize: the difference between the controlled variable (e.g., product purity) and the target value of the controlled variable; the difference between the manipulated variable (e.g., temperature difference at critical control points) and the target value of the manipulated variable; and the fluctuation of the manipulated variable.

[0070] It should also be noted that the predictive control of the MPC model in this embodiment is an advanced process control strategy. Its principle includes: data prediction, online optimization, and feedback correction. Data prediction involves predicting the corresponding predicted values, and even the values ​​of other related parameters, based on the historical states and current input values ​​of predetermined key control points, to demonstrate the future dynamic behavior of the system. Online optimization involves optimizing the parameters online for a finite future time period from that time at each sampling moment. At the next sampling moment, the optimal sequence from the previous moment is used for optimization, and this process is repeated. Feedback correction involves detecting the corresponding actual output at the next moment to prevent model mismatch and bias, and using real-time information to correct the model-based predictions before performing new optimizations. The feedback information forms a closed-loop optimization.

[0071] See Figure 2 Specifically, as described above, the step of obtaining control information based on the first parameter information, the adaptive neural fuzzy inference system, and the MPC model through joint processing includes:

[0072] Step S201: Based on the MPC model, predict the temperature difference in the feed section to obtain the liquid flow rate;

[0073] Step S202: Based on the MPC model, perform model prediction on the temperature difference of the side-line extraction section to obtain the first extraction flow rate;

[0074] Step S203: Perform fuzzy reasoning on the first heat load and the second heat load according to the adaptive neural fuzzy reasoning system to obtain the set temperature of the common rectification section, and combine the set temperature, the first temperature of the common rectification section and the second outflow rate at the top of the column to obtain the reflux flow rate.

[0075] In this embodiment, when obtaining control information through joint processing based on the first parameter information, prediction and / or inference are performed separately based on the correlation between each parameter in the first parameter information and each parameter in the control information, as well as the complexity of the correlation. Specifically, the temperature difference in the feed section is predicted using the MPC model to obtain the liquid phase flow rate; the temperature difference in the side stream extraction section is predicted using the MPC model to obtain the first extraction flow rate; the first heat load and the second heat load are fuzzy inferred using the adaptive neural fuzzy inference system to obtain the set temperature of the common rectification section; and the reflux flow rate is obtained by combining the set temperature obtained by fuzzy inference, the first temperature of the common rectification section, and the second extraction flow rate at the top of the column.

[0076] It should be noted that, depending on the different relationships or calculation formulas between the temperature difference in the feed section and the liquid flow rate, and between the temperature difference in the side-stream extraction section and the first extraction flow rate, MPC models can be constructed accordingly. That is, each relationship corresponds to an MPC model, in order to improve calculation efficiency and reduce the error rate by avoiding the influence of irrelevant parameters.

[0077] See Figure 3 Furthermore, as described above, obtaining the reflux flow rate by combining the set temperature, the first temperature of the common rectification section, and the second outflow rate at the top of the column includes:

[0078] Step S301: Determine the set reflux ratio based on the set temperature and the first temperature;

[0079] Step S302: Determine the reflux flow rate based on the set reflux ratio and the second extraction flow rate.

[0080] In this embodiment, when obtaining the reflux flow rate, since the set temperature of the common rectification section is obtained through fuzzy inference based on the first and second heat loads, and the reflux flow rate to be controlled at the top of the column needs to be obtained, the current first temperature of the common rectification section needs to be acquired. Based on the relationship between the first temperature and the set temperature, the set reflux ratio required when the first temperature changes to the set temperature is determined. The required reflux flow rate to be refluxed to the top of the column can then be determined based on the set reflux ratio and the second outflow rate at the top of the column. It should be noted that the sum of the reflux flow rate and the second outflow rate is the pumping flow rate of the reflux pump.

[0081] It should be noted that the set temperature can be the target value of the common rectification section temperature directly, or it can be controlled in segments from the first temperature to the target value of the common rectification section temperature. That is, there are multiple set temperatures with the same temperature difference between the two, and the setting temperature is achieved through gradual adjustment.

[0082] See Figure 4 Specifically, according to the method described above, obtaining the first parameter information includes:

[0083] Step S401: Obtain the second temperature of the feed section sensitive plate and the third temperature of the side-line extraction section sensitive plate;

[0084] Step S402: Based on a preset reference temperature, determine the difference between the second temperature and the corresponding reference temperature as the temperature difference of the feeding section, and determine the difference between the third temperature and the corresponding reference temperature as the temperature difference of the side-line sampling section, wherein the reference temperature is determined based on the average absolute deviation of the temperature change of the sensitive plate in a closed loop with component disturbance.

[0085] In this embodiment, the acquisition of the feed section temperature difference and the side-stream extraction section temperature difference in the first parameter information is illustrated. Since the sensitive plate is the plate in the adjacent tower that is sensitive to external disturbance factors, in this embodiment, the second temperature of the feed section sensitive plate (i.e., the sensitive plate corresponding to the feed section) and the third temperature of the side-stream extraction section sensitive plate (i.e., the sensitive plate corresponding to the side-stream extraction section) are acquired. By subtracting the second and third temperatures from the corresponding pre-obtained reference temperatures, the feed section temperature difference and the side-stream extraction section temperature difference are obtained respectively. The impact of feed disturbance on the feed section and the side-stream extraction section can be determined by the feed section temperature difference and the side-stream extraction section temperature difference, so as to facilitate subsequent model prediction based on the above temperature differences using the MPC model.

[0086] It should be noted that this reference temperature is determined based on the average absolute deviation of the temperature change of the sensitive plate in a closed loop with component disturbances (i.e., product purity remains stable). It should also be noted that the feed section and the side-stream extraction section can each correspond to a separate reference temperature, or they can correspond to the same reference temperature.

[0087] See Figure 5 Specifically, the method described above also includes:

[0088] Step S501: Obtain historical parameter samples of the adjacent tower, the historical parameter samples include: the first heat load and the second heat load corresponding to each detection point within a preset time period;

[0089] Step S502: Normalize the first heat load and the second heat load;

[0090] Step S503: Determine the membership function and number of fuzzy rules of the preset adaptive neural fuzzy inference system based on the normalized first heat load and second heat load;

[0091] Step S504: Train the preset adaptive neural fuzzy inference system based on the normalized first thermal load and the second thermal load to obtain the adaptive neural fuzzy inference system.

[0092] In this embodiment, the construction of the adaptive neurofuzzy inference system is further explained. First, historical parameter samples of the adjacent tower are obtained. These historical parameter samples include the first and second heat loads corresponding to each detection point within a preset time period. This can also be understood as the first and second heat loads detected by each detection point constituting the historical parameter samples corresponding to that detection point. Then, the first and second heat loads are normalized to ensure that the data ultimately used in model training have the same metric scale and improve training efficiency. Next, based on the normalized first and second heat loads, the membership function and the number of fuzzy rules of the preset adaptive neurofuzzy inference system are determined. Specifically, this can be determined using a trial-and-error method in Matlab software. It should be noted that the particle swarm optimization algorithm can also be used to optimize the model parameters of the preset adaptive neurofuzzy inference system. Finally, the preset adaptive neurofuzzy inference system is trained using the normalized first and second heat loads to obtain the desired adaptive neurofuzzy inference system. The training and use of the preset adaptive neurofuzzy inference system can be achieved using the Adaptive Neurofuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) toolbox in Matlab software.

[0093] It should be noted that the set temperature or other output values ​​obtained through the adaptive neurofuzzy inference system are all values ​​after denormalization.

[0094] See Figure 6 Specifically, the method described above also includes:

[0095] Step S601: Obtain the feed flow rate of the feed section of the partition tower and the fourth temperature of the common stripping section;

[0096] Step S602: Determine the heat load control information of the reboiler based on the feed flow rate of the feed section and the fourth temperature;

[0097] Step S603: Control the first heat load of the reboiler according to the heat load control information.

[0098] Since the heat load of the reboiler affects the dynamic control of the process in the adjacent column, this embodiment provides an example of adjusting the heat load of the reboiler. Specifically, this includes: first, obtaining the feed flow rate of the feed section and the fourth temperature of the common stripping section, where the fourth temperature is the sensitive plate temperature of the common stripping section; then, determining the heat load control information of the reboiler based on the preset adjustment relationship between the feed flow rate and the fourth temperature and the first heat load (for example, different feed flow rates correspond to different ratios of the fourth temperature to the first heat load); and finally, controlling the first heat load of the reboiler based on this heat load control information, where the fourth temperature is used for negative feedback.
