Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of process production monitoring, and more specifically, to a monitoring system for the safe operation of a distillation column. Background Art
[0002] A distillation column is a commonly used device in chemical processes for separating components in a mixture through a distillation process. In traditional distillation column operations, operators usually rely on experience and regular manual inspections to monitor the operation inside the column. This method has problems of low efficiency and slow response. With the development of industrial automation, automated monitoring systems have gradually been applied to the operation of distillation columns.
[0003] Existing automated control systems for distillation column operations set up temperature sensors and pressure sensors to monitor the top temperature, bottom temperature, top pressure, and bottom pressure during the operation of the distillation column in real time. When the temperature and pressure of the distillation column deviate from the temperature and pressure specified in the production plan, an automatic alarm is triggered, and professional technicians are required to conduct inspections and maintenance. To a certain extent, this liberates human resources, realizes intelligent monitoring, and reduces the occurrence frequency of dangerous events during the operation of the distillation column.
[0004] However, the above system still has some problems: the above system only monitors the temperature and pressure in the distillation column, and the monitoring angle is not comprehensive enough, and it cannot fully show the parameter deviation situation during the operation of the distillation column. Moreover, when the temperature and pressure of the distillation column deviate from the temperature and pressure specified in the production plan, an automatic alarm is triggered, which cannot guarantee that there must be an abnormal operation of the distillation column at this time. At this time, when professional technicians conduct inspections and maintenance, unnecessary shutdown and repair situations may occur, delaying the production progress. Summary of the Invention
