Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of coal-related technologies, and in particular to a method for controlling the feed of a multi-reactor system for direct coal liquefaction, electronic equipment, and storage medium. Background Technology
[0002] Since the beginning of the 20th century, a number of representative direct coal liquefaction processes have been developed abroad, such as the IGOR+ process jointly developed by the German Mining and Metallurgical Technology and Testing Company, Ruhr Coal Company, and FIBOR Oil Company; the H-Coal process developed by the American Hydrocarbons Research Company; and the NEDOL process developed by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization of Japan. However, all of these processes only completed small-scale and pilot-scale tests and have not yet been put into industrial-scale production.
[0003] Currently, the mixing ratios of oil-coal slurry, catalyst, liquid sulfur, and hydrogen in industrial reactor feeds are all manually adjusted without automatic control, which easily leads to adjustment lags and deviations of the mixing ratios from production targets.
[0004] In actual production, the following issues exist: Large fluctuations in the concentration of the coal-oil slurry; large fluctuations in the concentration of the catalyst coal-oil slurry, resulting in a mismatch between the injection flow rate and the system's processing capacity. Excessive injection leads to an increase in tetrahydrofuran insolubles at the bottom of the vacuum distillation tower, reducing the system's distilled oil yield; insufficient injection leads to insufficient depth of the direct liquefaction reaction, also reducing the system's distilled oil yield. Similarly, a mismatch between the liquid sulfur injection flow rate and the system's processing capacity results in excessive liquid sulfur injection causing excessive concentrations of hydrogen sulfide in the gas phase, increasing the risk of corrosion in the gas phase pipelines and the difficulty of subsequent tail gas treatment units; insufficient liquid sulfur injection leads to insufficient depth of the direct liquefaction reaction, reducing the system's distilled oil yield. Finally, a mismatch between the hydrogen injection flow rate and the system's processing capacity results in excessive hydrogen injection leading to a useless increase in system energy consumption; insufficient hydrogen injection leads to low hydrogen partial pressure, insufficient reaction depth, and reduced system distilled oil yield.

[0116] Specifically, step S201 is first executed, where the pulverized coal feed flow rate and pulverized coal solvent flow rate are controlled by a double closed-loop ratio and injected into the oil-coal slurry tank, and the catalyst pulverized coal flow rate and catalyst solvent flow rate are controlled by a double closed-loop ratio and injected into the catalyst oil-coal slurry tank.
[0117] In one embodiment, the step of controlling the pulverized coal feed flow rate and the pulverized coal solvent flow rate using a dual closed-loop ratio and injecting the pulverized coal slurry into the oil-coal slurry tank includes:
[0118] Calculate the setpoint for pulverized coal solvent flow rate based on system load and oil-coal slurry concentration;
[0119] The set value of the coal powder solvent flow rate is used as the given value of the coal powder solvent flow rate PID controller.

The oil-coal slurry mixer mixes the coal powder and the coal powder solvent and then injects the mixture into the oil-coal slurry tank.
[0122] The oil-coal slurry concentration control method in this embodiment is implemented through a dual closed-loop ratio control system. The coal powder discharge flow rate is controlled by the coal powder silo discharge control valve 26, and the solvent supply flow rate is controlled by the solvent supply control valve 27. For example... Figure 4 As shown, firstly, based on the system load and coal slurry concentration, the required coal powder solvent feed flow rate is automatically calculated using a calculation module in the Distributed Control System (DCS). This calculated flow rate is used as the setpoint for the solvent flow control loop. After passing through a proportional-integral-differential (PID) controller for the coal powder solvent flow rate, the result is output to the solvent supply control valve 27, thereby controlling the coal powder solvent flow rate. Then, a dual closed-loop ratio control system is formed by combining the coal powder flow rate and the solvent flow rate. Based on the coal slurry concentration, the required coal powder flow rate is automatically calculated, and this value is used as the setpoint for the coal powder flow control loop. After passing through a PID controller for the coal powder discharge flow rate, the result is output to the coal powder silo discharge control valve 26, thereby controlling the coal powder discharge flow rate. Finally, the automatic control of the coal slurry concentration is completed. A dual-loop ratio control system is a system with two closed-loop loops: ratio control and flow control. One primary variable is controlled by the flow control loop, while the other secondary variable is controlled by the ratio control loop. The setpoint of the secondary variable depends on the measured value of the primary variable. For example, the coal powder solvent feed flow rate is the primary variable, and the control valve changes in real time according to the measured value of the coal powder solvent, adjusting the coal powder solvent feed flow rate to form an automatic control loop. The coal powder discharge flow rate is the secondary variable, which changes according to the design concentration ratio of the primary variable, the coal powder solvent flow rate, thereby indirectly controlling the opening of the coal powder discharge control valve through the secondary variable.
[0123] In some embodiments, the total oil-coal slurry flow rate is determined based on the system load, the oil-coal slurry flow rate is multiplied by the oil-coal slurry concentration to obtain the coal powder flow rate, and the oil-coal slurry flow rate is multiplied by the coal powder solvent concentration to obtain the coal powder solvent flow rate, wherein the coal powder solvent concentration = 1 - oil-coal slurry concentration.
[0124] First, the design values of pulverized coal flow rate, pulverized coal solvent flow rate, catalyst flow rate, and catalyst solvent flow rate under 100% load are calculated. When the system load changes, other key parameters are changed according to the proportion of the system load change. For example, if the system load is adjusted to 85%, then all other key parameters are given at 85% of the design value.
[0125] In one embodiment, the step of controlling the ratio of catalyst pulverized coal flow rate to catalyst solvent flow rate in a dual closed-loop manner and injecting the catalyst oil-coal slurry into the tank includes:
[0126] Calculate the catalyst solvent flow rate setpoint based on the system load and catalyst oil-coal slurry concentration;
[0127] The catalyst solvent flow rate setpoint is used as the given value of the catalyst solvent flow rate PID controller.

The catalyst solvent supply control valve controls the connection between the catalyst solvent and the first input end of the catalyst oil-coal slurry mixer.
[0128] The actual catalyst solvent flow rate is detected, and the catalyst coal powder flow rate set value is calculated based on the actual catalyst solvent flow rate and the catalyst oil-coal slurry concentration.
[0129] The set value of the catalyst pulverized coal flow rate is used as the given value of the catalyst pulverized coal feed flow rate PID controller. The catalyst pulverized coal feed flow rate PID controller controls the catalyst pulverized coal silo feed control valve 24. The catalyst pulverized coal silo feed control valve 24 controls the connection between the catalyst pulverized coal and the second input end of the catalyst oil-coal slurry mixer. The catalyst oil-coal slurry mixer mixes the catalyst pulverized coal with the catalyst solvent and then injects it into the catalyst oil-coal slurry tank.
[0130] The catalyst oil-coal slurry concentration control method of this embodiment controls the catalyst coal powder discharge flow rate through the catalyst coal powder silo discharge control valve 24 and the solvent feed flow rate through the catalyst solvent supply control valve 25. For example...

After passing through the catalyst coal powder discharge flow PID controller, it is output to the catalyst coal powder silo discharge control valve 24, thereby controlling the catalyst coal powder discharge flow rate, ultimately completing the automatic control of the catalyst oil-coal slurry concentration.

[0139] The hydrogen injection flow rate control method in this embodiment is implemented using a single-loop closed-loop control system.

[0140] Then, step S206 is executed, setting the gas flow rate of the oil-coal slurry heater and the hydrogen heater, inputting the intermediate product output from the oil-coal slurry heater and the heated hydrogen output from the hydrogen heater into the input end of the first reactor, connecting the output end of the first reactor to the input end of the second reactor, outputting the product from the output end of the second reactor, and injecting quench oil and / or quench hydrogen into the reactor connection pipeline connecting the first reactor and the second reactor.
[0141] Specifically, the intermediate product output from the oil-coal slurry heater 17 and the heated hydrogen output from the hydrogen heater 18 are input into the first reactor 19 for reaction. After the intermediate product is subjected to temperature adjustment by quench oil 22 and / or quench hydrogen 23, it is injected into the second reactor 20 for reaction. The product after reaction is output from the second reactor 20.
[0142] Then, step S207 is performed to detect the temperature of the first reactor connected to the first reactor of the oil-coal slurry heater and the hydrogen heater respectively, and to adjust the gas flow rate of the oil-coal slurry heater and the hydrogen heater according to the temperature of the first reactor.
[0143] The reactor temperature control method in this embodiment utilizes a cascade control loop. The first reactor temperature is used as the main loop, and the gas flow rate as the secondary loop. The first reactor temperature is input as a setpoint to the main loop, and the output value of the main loop's PID controller is used as the setpoint for the secondary loop. The output of the secondary loop's PID controller is sent to the gas control valve to adjust the gas flow rate, thereby regulating the reactor temperature.
[0144] In one embodiment, detecting the temperature of a first reactor connected to the first reactor respectively of the oil-coal slurry heater and the hydrogen heater, and adjusting the gas flow rate of the oil-coal slurry heater and the hydrogen heater according to the first reactor temperature includes:
[0145] The temperature of the first reactor, which is respectively connected to the oil-coal slurry heater and the hydrogen heater, is detected.
[0146] When the temperature of the first reactor is lower than the first temperature threshold, the gas flow rate of the gas control valve of the oil-coal slurry heater is increased at a first gas rate, and the gas flow rate of the gas control valve of the hydrogen heater is increased at a second gas rate.
[0147] When the temperature of the first reactor is higher than the first temperature threshold, the gas flow rate of the gas control valve of the oil-coal slurry heater is reduced at a first gas rate, and the gas flow rate of the gas control valve of the hydrogen heater is reduced at a second gas rate.
[0148] Specifically, the gas flow rate of the oil-coal slurry heater 17 is controlled by the gas control valve 32 of the oil-coal slurry heater, and the gas flow rate of the hydrogen heater 18 is controlled by the gas control valve 33 of the hydrogen heater.

[0154] When the temperature of the second reactor is higher than the second temperature threshold, the quench oil flow rate is controlled to increase at the quench oil rate and / or the quench hydrogen flow rate is controlled to increase at the quench hydrogen rate.
[0155] Specifically, the flow rate of quench oil is controlled by adjusting the opening of the quench oil control valve 34, and the flow rate of quench hydrogen is controlled by adjusting the opening of the quench hydrogen control valve 35. Since the direct coal liquefaction reaction is exothermic, the temperature of the second reactor is controlled by adjusting the flow rates of quench oil and / or quench hydrogen. The temperature of the feedstock at the inlet of the second reactor is indirectly controlled by adjusting the injection flow rates of quench oil and / or quench hydrogen; thus, the injection of quench oil and quench hydrogen serves as a means of controlling the temperature of the second reactor.
[0156] In this embodiment, the flow rate of quench oil and / or quench hydrogen is adjusted according to the temperature of the second reactor, so that the temperature in the reactor connecting pipeline can be adaptively adjusted to follow the temperature of the second reactor.
[0157] This embodiment presents a multi-reactor feed control method for direct coal liquefaction, achieving automatic control of feed flow rate, feed composition, and feed temperature. This embodiment addresses the issue of maintaining stable and uniform oil-coal slurry concentration and catalyst-oil-coal slurry concentration. This ensures the stability of raw material properties, reduces errors caused by human factors, and improves system stability. Simultaneously, it solves the problem of automatically adjusting the injection flow rates of oil-coal slurry, catalyst, liquid sulfur, and hydrogen to the multi-reactor feed according to the system's processing capacity. This reduces the workload of operators and avoids inefficient direct coal liquefaction reactions caused by human error. Finally, this embodiment solves the problem of automatically adjusting the temperatures of the reactor feed oil-coal slurry, catalyst, liquid sulfur, and hydrogen according to reactor temperature changes. This avoids the lag caused by manual adjustments, large reactor temperature fluctuations, and the resulting impact on the system's oil yield and economic benefits.
[0158] As an example, let's take a million-ton-scale direct coal liquefaction plant as an example.

[0163] When the high-pressure feed pump frequency converter 29 receives the system load 100% signal, it controls the speed of the high-pressure feed pump 11, thereby indirectly controlling the feed oil-coal slurry to enter the oil-coal slurry heater 17 at a rate of 528 t / h.
[0164] When the liquid sulfur pump stroke regulator 30 receives the system load 100% signal, it controls the stroke of the liquid sulfur pump 14, thereby indirectly controlling the feed liquid sulfur to enter the oil-coal slurry heater 17 at a rate of 3t / h.
[0165] When the compressor continuously variable speed regulator 31 receives the system load 100% signal, it controls the compressor discharge volume of 21t / h to enter the hydrogen heater 18.
[0166] When the gas control valve 32 of the oil-coal slurry heater and the gas control valve 33 of the hydrogen heater receive a 100% system load signal, the gas control valve 32 controls the gas flow of the oil-coal slurry heater 17 to 12000 Nm³ / h. Simultaneously, it receives a signal indicating a first reactor temperature of 455℃. When the first reactor temperature is below 455℃, the gas control valve 32 will control the gas consumption to 200 cubic meters per minute (Nm³ / h).3 When the temperature of the first reactor exceeds 455℃, the gas control valve 32 of the oil-coal slurry heater will control the gas consumption to 200 Nm³ / min. 3 The gas flow rate decreases by 100 Nm³ / h, and the gas control valve 33 of the hydrogen heater controls the gas supply of the hydrogen heater to 800 Nm³ / h. Simultaneously, it receives a signal indicating the temperature of the first reactor is 455℃. When the temperature of the first reactor falls below 455℃, the gas control valve 33 will control the gas supply to 30 Nm³ / h. 3 When the temperature of the first reactor rises by 30 Nm³ / min, the gas control valve 33 of the hydrogen heater will control the gas consumption to 30 Nm³ / min. 3 / min decrease.
[0167] When the quench oil control valve 34 and the quench hydrogen control valve 35 receive a 100% system load signal, the quench oil control valve 34 controls the flow rate of quench oil 22 to 40 t / h, and the quench hydrogen control valve 35 controls the flow rate of quench oil 23 to 100,000 Nm³ / h. Simultaneously, upon receiving a signal indicating a second reactor temperature of 455℃, when the second reactor temperature drops below 455℃, the quench oil control valve 34 will reduce the quench oil flow rate by 3 t / min, and the quench hydrogen control valve 35 will reduce the quench hydrogen flow rate by 5000 Nm³ / h. 3 When the temperature of the second reactor increases by 3 t / min, and the temperature of the second reactor exceeds 455℃, the quench oil control valve 34 will control the quench oil flow rate to increase by 3 t / min, and the quench hydrogen control valve 35 will control the quench hydrogen flow rate to increase by 5000 Nm³. 3 / min increase.
