[0040] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0041] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the connection structure of the existing reaction system liquid level and output flow control method provided in the embodiments of this application.

[0042] Currently, existing technologies employ a control scheme that combines the reaction system's liquid level control loop with the produced pipeline's flow control loop, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the system includes a reaction system level controller LIC1, a product pipeline flow controller FIC1, a regulating valve V1 directly supplying the product from the reaction system to the downstream user, a regulating valve V2 between the reaction system and the buffer system, and a regulating valve V3 between the buffer system and the downstream user. The level controller controls the flow rate from the reaction system to the buffer system by adjusting the opening of V2 to stabilize the level. The flow controller ensures that the flow rate from the buffer system to the downstream user meets the user's requirements by adjusting the opening of V3. Figure 1 During the production process shown, there is a situation where materials from the reaction system are drawn into the buffer system, and then the materials from the buffer system need to be drawn into the downstream user. This is equivalent to the materials drawn from the reaction / distillation system being cooled and then heated before being drawn into the downstream user, resulting in energy waste and increased operating costs.

[0043] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides the following technical concept: by introducing a split-range control and flow decoupling calculation module, when downstream user demand is high, the output from the reaction / distillation system and the output from the buffer system can be jointly delivered to the downstream user; when downstream user demand is low, the materials in the reaction / distillation system can be separately extracted to the downstream user and the buffer system, thereby reducing the usage of cooling and heating media. This achieves the goal of reducing the usage of cold and hot media based on level control and flow control, thus reducing system energy consumption and operating costs.

[0044] Figure 2A connection structure diagram of a reaction system liquid level and production flow control system provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0045] As shown in Figure 2 , an embodiment of the present application provides a reaction system liquid level and production flow control system, as shown in Figure 2 , the system comprises a reaction system liquid level controller LIC2, a production pipeline flow controller FIC2, a low selection module, a first calculation module Y1, a second calculation module Y2, a third calculation module Y3, a fourth calculation module Y4, a direct production regulating valve V4, a production buffer regulating valve V5 and a buffer production regulating valve V6.

[0046] The reaction system liquid level controller LIC2 adopts a split-range control method to process process input, the input end of the reaction system liquid level controller LIC2 is connected to the reaction system through a liquid level transmitter LT2, the reaction system liquid level controller LIC2 is used to monitor the liquid level of the material in the reaction system and control the flow of production to the downstream system, wherein the downstream system comprises a buffer system and a downstream user; the output end of the reaction system liquid level controller LIC2 is connected with the first calculation module Y1 and the third calculation module Y3 respectively.

[0047] In this embodiment, the reaction system can be a device, a container or equipment used in a chemical production process, for example, a rectification system or a reaction kettle.

[0048] In this embodiment, the liquid level transmitter LT2 is used to measure the liquid level height of the material in the reaction system, convert the liquid level information into an electrical signal and send it to the reaction system liquid level controller LIC2, so that the reaction system liquid level controller LIC2 adjusts the flow of the material produced from the reaction system according to the electrical signal, in order to monitor and control the liquid level. The buffer system comprises a buffer container, a cooling device communicating with the feed port of the buffer container, a pump communicating with the discharge port of the buffer container and a heating device communicating with the pump. The production buffer regulating valve V5 is located between the cooling device and the reaction system, and the buffer production regulating valve V6 is located between the heating device and the downstream user.

[0049] The production pipeline flow controller FIC2 adopts a split-range control method to process process input, the input end of the production pipeline flow controller FIC2 is connected with the pipeline for production to the downstream user through a flow transmitter FT2, the production pipeline flow controller FIC2 is used to monitor and control the total flow of production to the downstream user, and the output end of the production pipeline flow controller FIC2 is connected with the second calculation module Y2 and the fourth calculation module Y4 respectively.

[0050] In the embodiment, the reaction system liquid level controller LIC2 and the production pipeline flow controller FIC2 are both split-range controllers. Compared with the traditional split-range control, when the downstream user demand is equal to the output of the reaction system liquid level controller LIC2, the split-range control can control the production buffer regulating valve V5 and the buffer production regulating valve V6 to be in the fully closed state; when the downstream user demand is greater than the output of the reaction system liquid level controller LIC2, the split-range control can control the opening of the buffer production regulating valve V6 to be larger, and control the production buffer regulating valve V5 to be in the fully closed state; when the downstream user demand is less than the output of the reaction system liquid level controller LIC2, the split-range control can control the opening of the production buffer regulating valve V5 to be larger, and control the buffer production regulating valve V6 to be in the fully closed state. At any time, there is no state in which the production buffer regulating valve V5 and the buffer production regulating valve V6 are opened at the same time, and the reaction system can quickly respond to changes in the production amount and the downstream user demand, thereby avoiding the situation in which part of the material in the reaction system enters the buffer system through the cooling device while the material in the buffer system enters the downstream user after being heated by the heating device, and achieving energy saving and environmental protection.

[0051] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the reaction system liquid level controller LIC2 is positive, and the production pipeline flow controller FIC2 is negative.

[0052] In the embodiment, when the liquid level of the material in the reaction system is high, the material can be discharged by increasing the opening of the direct production regulating valve V4 and the production buffer regulating valve V5, so that the liquid level of the material in the reaction system is stabilized in a preset liquid level interval, and therefore the reaction system liquid level controller LIC2 needs to be positive. When the opening of the direct production regulating valve V4 and the buffer production regulating valve V6 is increased, the flow rate is increased, and at this time, the flow rate can be controlled by reducing the opening of the direct production regulating valve V4 and the buffer production regulating valve V6, and therefore the production pipeline flow controller FIC2 needs to be negative.

[0053] The low selection module is connected with the first calculation module Y1 and the second calculation module Y2 respectively, and is used for low selection of the first calculation module Y1 and the second calculation module Y2 to obtain the minimum value output by the first calculation module Y1 and the second calculation module Y2.

[0054] In the embodiment, the calculation formula of the low selection module is e = min{a / x, b / y}, where e is the output value of the low selection module, and the output value is the minimum value output by the first calculation module Y1 and the second calculation module Y2.

[0055] The two ends of the direct production regulating valve V4 are respectively connected with the reaction system and the downstream user, the two ends of the production buffer regulating valve V5 are respectively connected with the reaction system and the buffer system, and the two ends of the buffer production regulating valve V6 are respectively connected with the buffer system and the downstream user.

[0056] In the embodiment, the direct production regulating valve V4, the production buffer regulating valve V5 and the buffer production regulating valve V6 can be connected by pipelines for material flow.

[0057] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the direct production regulating valve V4, the production buffer regulating valve V5 and the buffer production regulating valve V6 are all air opening valves.

[0058] In the embodiment, when the control instruction received by the air opening valve is to increase the opening, the air opening valve will increase the air supply to make the valve be pushed open. In order to facilitate PID control, when the direct production regulating valve V4, the production buffer regulating valve V5 and the buffer production regulating valve V6 have no air source, they will be automatically closed to avoid material loss.

[0059] It should be noted that the direct production regulating valve V4, the production buffer regulating valve V5 and the buffer production regulating valve V6 can also be other valves capable of receiving control instructions, such as air closing valves. In this regard, the embodiments of the present application do not make special limitations here.

[0060] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the low selection module, the first calculation module Y1, the second calculation module Y2, the third calculation module Y3 and the fourth calculation module Y4 are integrated into a flow decoupling calculation device.

[0061] In the embodiment, the flow decoupling calculation device can be a device, a processor or a controller capable of inputting the selection result of the low selection module into the fourth calculation module Y4 and the third calculation module Y3 for split-range control calculation to obtain a calculation result, and controlling the device, the processor or the controller to change the opening of the direct production regulating valve V4, the production buffer regulating valve V5 and the buffer production regulating valve V6 according to the calculation result. For example, the flow decoupling calculation device can be a server, a controller or a chip.

[0062] In summary, the reaction system liquid level and production flow control system provided by the embodiments of the present application uses the production pipeline flow controller FIC2 and the reaction system liquid level controller LIC2, and uses the low selection module to obtain the minimum value of the output of the first calculation module Y1 and the second calculation module Y2, and controls the opening degree of the direct production regulating valve V4, the production buffer regulating valve V5 and the buffer production regulating valve V6 based on the minimum value, so that the state in which the production buffer regulating valve V5 and the buffer production regulating valve V6 are simultaneously opened does not exist, the reaction system production and downstream user demand can be quickly responded to, the production flow of the reaction / distillation system and the buffer system can be adjusted, the energy consumption is reduced, and the cost is saved.

[0063] Figure 3 The flowchart of the reaction system liquid level and production flow control method provided by the embodiments of the present application can be a server, a processor or a controller, or other computer-related devices, and the embodiments are not particularly limited.

[0064] As shown in the reaction system liquid level and production flow control method, Figure 3 as shown in the reaction system liquid level and production flow control system in the embodiments, Figure 2 the method comprises the following steps:

[0065] S301: When the output of the liquid level controller reaction system liquid level controller LIC2 is equal to the demand of the downstream user, at this time, the output value of the reaction system liquid level controller LIC2 is a, the split point of the reaction system liquid level controller LIC2 is x, the output of the first calculation module Y1 is a / x, the output value of the production pipeline flow controller FIC2 is b, the split point of the production pipeline flow controller FIC2 is y, and the output of the second calculation module Y2 is b / y, at this time, a / x=b / y, and the opening degree of the direct production regulating valve V4 is controlled to be the opening degree value obtained based on the output value of the reaction system liquid level controller LIC2 or the output value of the production pipeline flow controller FIC2.

[0066] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the calculation formula of the split point x of the reaction system liquid level controller LIC2 is:

[0067] x=q1 / (q1+q2)

[0068] In the formula, x is the split point of the reaction system liquid level controller LIC2, q1 is the full opening flow of the direct production regulating valve V4, and q2 is the full opening flow of the production buffer regulating valve V5.

[0069] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the calculation formula of the split point y of the production pipeline flow controller FIC2 is:

[0070] y = q1 / (q1+q3)

[0071] In the formula, y is the split point of the production line flow controller FIC2, q1 is the full open flow of the direct production regulating valve V4, and q3 is the full open flow of the buffer production regulating valve V6.

[0072] In this embodiment, the output of the reaction system liquid level controller LIC2 is equal to the demand of the downstream user, which means that the demand of the downstream user is equal to the production flow of the reaction system. At this time, the output c = a / x of the first calculation module Y1 is equal to the output d = b / y of the second calculation module Y2, and the input e = a / x = b / y of the V1 is selected after the low selection module. Meanwhile, the output value of the low selection module is sent to the third calculation module Y3 and the fourth calculation module Y4. At this time, the output value f = 0 of the third calculation module Y3 and the output value g = 0 of the fourth calculation module Y4 are both 0. Correspondingly, the inputs of the control production buffer regulating valve V5 and the buffer production regulating valve V6 are both 0. At this time, the production buffer regulating valve V5 and the buffer production regulating valve V6 are in a full closed state, and the material flows to the downstream user after passing through the open direct production regulating valve V4. Therefore, the material does not need to pass through the cooling device and the heating device, which avoids energy waste.

[0073] S302: When the output of the reaction system liquid level controller LIC2 is less than the demand of the downstream user, at this time a / x < b / y, the low selection module outputs the first low selection result, and the fourth calculation module Y4 adjusts the output based on the low selection result to make the buffer production regulating valve V6 open, so that the sum of the production flow of the reaction system and the production flow of the buffer system is equal to the demand of the downstream user.

[0074] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the fourth calculation module adjusts the output based on the output of the low selection module, and the calculation formula is:

[0075] g = (b-ye) / (1-y)

[0076] In the formula, g is the output value of the fourth calculation module, b is the output value of the production line flow controller FIC2, y is the split point of the production line flow controller FIC2, and e is the output value of the low selection module, e = min{a / x, b / y}, that is, e takes the smaller value of a / x and b / y.

[0077] The output of the reaction system liquid level controller LIC2 is less than the demand of the downstream user, which means the flow rate of the reaction system is lower than the demand of the downstream user, and the first calculation module Y1 outputs c=a / x, which is less than the output d=b / y of the second calculation module Y2. After the selection of the low selection module, the input of the direct production adjustment valve V4 between the reaction system and the downstream user is e=a / x. It should be noted that the selection result of the low selection module will affect the opening of the direct production adjustment valve V4 and the buffer production adjustment valve V6. The specific process of affecting the opening is as follows:

[0078] When the output b of the production pipeline flow controller FIC2 is in the range of (y, 1), the selection result of the low selection module is input into the fourth calculation module Y4, and the calculation result of the fourth calculation module Y4 is g=(b-ay / x) / (1-y). Compared with the traditional split range calculation method, the valve opening of the buffer production adjustment valve V6 is larger at this time to ensure that the total flow entering the downstream user meets the demand. Since the low selection module outputs e=a / x, the split range control output of the reaction system liquid level controller LIC2 is not affected at this time, and the value output by the low selection module is sent to the third calculation module Y3, and the calculation result is f=(a-xa / x) / (1-x)=0, that is, the input of the production buffer adjustment valve V5 is 0, and the production buffer adjustment valve V5 is in the full closed state at this time.

[0079] In this embodiment, in order to better illustrate the beneficial effects of the reaction system liquid level and production flow control method provided by the present application, the traditional split range control process is also used for example, and the process is as follows:

[0080] When the output b of the production pipeline flow controller FIC2 is in the range of (y, 1), if the traditional split range control is used instead of the split range control in the embodiment of the present application proposed by the inventor, the input of the direct production adjustment valve V4 is e'=b / y, and the input of the buffer production adjustment valve V6 is g'=(b-y) / (1-y). However, if the input of the buffer production adjustment valve V6 remains g'=(b-y) / (1-y), the total flow entering the downstream user will be smaller, which will affect normal production.

[0081] S303: When the output of the reaction system liquid level controller LIC2 is greater than the demand of the downstream user, that is, a / x>b / y, the low selection module outputs the second low selection result, and the third calculation module Y3 outputs the adjustment based on the output of the low selection module, so that the production buffer adjustment valve V5 is opened to make the production flow of the reaction system the sum of the flow to the buffer device and the demand of the downstream user.

[0082] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the third calculation module Y3 outputs an adjustment based on the output of the low selection module, and the calculation formula is:

[0083] f = (a - xe) / (1 - x)

[0084] In the formula, f is the output value of the third calculation module, a is the output value of the reaction system liquid level controller LIC2, x is the split point of the reaction system liquid level controller LIC2, and e is the output value of the low selection module, e = min{a / x, b / y}, that is, e takes the smaller value of a / x and b / y.

[0085] In the embodiment, when the output amount of the reaction system liquid level controller LIC2 is greater than the demand amount of the downstream user, it indicates that the demand flow of the downstream user is small, and the flow extracted by the reaction system to maintain the liquid level is higher than the demand amount of the downstream user. At this time, the first calculation module Y1 outputs c = a / x, which is greater than the output d = b / y of the second calculation module Y2. After selection by the low selection module, the input of the direct extraction adjustment valve V4 of the downstream user is e = b / y. It should be noted that the selection result of the low selection module will affect the opening degree of the direct extraction adjustment valve V4 and the extraction buffer adjustment valve V5. When the output a of the reaction system liquid level controller LIC2 is within the range of (x, 1), the flow decoupling mode will be adopted, and the output result of the low selection module will be input into the third calculation module Y3. The calculation result of the third calculation module Y3 is f = (a - xb / y) / (1 - x). Compared with the traditional split calculation method, in the embodiment, the valve opening degree of the extraction buffer adjustment valve V5 is larger to ensure that the extraction flow of the reaction system meets the requirements. Since the output of the low selection module is e = b / y, the split control output of the flow is not affected. The result output by the low selection module is input into the fourth calculation module Y4, and the calculation result g = (b - yb / y) / (1 - y) = 0 is obtained. That is, the input of the buffer extraction adjustment valve V6 is 0, and at this time the valve of the buffer extraction adjustment valve V6 is in the full-closed state.

[0086] Similarly, in the embodiment, in order to better illustrate the beneficial effects of the reaction system liquid level and extraction flow control method provided by the present application, the traditional split control process is also used for illustration, and the process is as follows:

[0087] When the output a of the reaction system liquid level controller LIC2 is in the range of (x, 1), if a conventional split-range control is used instead of the split-range control provided in the embodiments of the present application, the input of the direct withdrawal control valve V4 is e' = a / x, and the input of the withdrawal buffer control valve V5 is f' = (a-x) / (1-x). However, the input of the direct withdrawal control valve V4 is e = b / y, and the actual flow rate of the direct withdrawal control valve V4 is low. If the input of the direct withdrawal control valve V4 is still f' = (a-x) / (1-x), the total flow rate withdrawn from the reaction / distillation system is small, which cannot meet the requirement of the flow rate of the withdrawn material for maintaining the liquid level, and the liquid level of the reaction system continuously rises, which is a potential risk of high liquid level.

[0088] To make the method for controlling the liquid level and the withdrawal flow rate of the reaction system provided in the embodiments of the present application more understandable and implementable, the embodiments take the withdrawal of the distillation system of a device in a production process as an example to further illustrate the control method provided in the above embodiments.

[0089] Suppose that the full opening flow rate of the direct withdrawal control valve V4 is 50 t / h, the full opening flow rate of the withdrawal buffer control valve V5 is 50 t / h, and the full opening flow rate of the buffer withdrawal control valve V6 is 100 t / h. After the calculation of the processor, the split-range point x of the reaction system liquid level controller LIC2 is 50%, and the split-range point y of the withdrawal pipeline flow rate controller FIC2 is 33.3%.

[0090] When the demand of the downstream user is the same as the withdrawal flow rate of the distillation system, the output a of the reaction system liquid level controller LIC2 is 20%, the output c of the first calculation module Y1 is a / x = 20% / 50% = 40%, the output b of the withdrawal pipeline flow rate controller FIC2 is 13.3%, the output d of the second calculation module Y2 is b / y = 13.3% / 33.3% = 40%, e = b = d after the selection of the low selection module, the input of V1 is 40%, and the output e of the low selection module is simultaneously input to the third calculation module Y3 and the fourth calculation module Y4, f = g = 0, that is, the inputs of the withdrawal buffer control valve V5 and the buffer withdrawal control valve V6 are both 0, and the withdrawal buffer control valve V5 and the buffer withdrawal control valve V6 are both in the full closed state. The material is directly withdrawn to the downstream user through the direct withdrawal control valve V4.

[0091] When the downstream user demand flow is greater than the production flow of the rectification system for maintaining the liquid level, such as the reaction system liquid level controller LIC2 output a = 40%, the output of the production pipeline flow controller FIC2 is b = 33.3%, since a is less than the split point x, the output of the first calculation module Y1 is c = a / x = 40% / 50% = 80%, the output of the second calculation module Y2 is d = 33.3% / 33.3% = 100%, after selection by the low selection module, e = min{c = 80%, d = 100%} = 80%, at this time the input of the direct production regulating valve V4 is 80%, the output e of the low selection module is simultaneously input to the third calculation module Y3 and the fourth calculation module Y4, then the third calculation module Y3 = (40%-80%*50%) / (1-50%) = 0%, the fourth calculation module Y4 = (33.3%-33.3%*80%) / (1-33.3%) = 10%. At this time, the input of the production buffer regulating valve V5 is 0%, the input of the buffer production regulating valve V6 is 10%, the opening degrees of the direct production regulating valve V4 and the buffer production regulating valve V6 can ensure that the downstream user demand is met on the basis of maintaining the stability of the liquid level of the rectification system, and the production buffer regulating valve V5 is in a full-closed state.

[0092] When the downstream user demand is less than the production flow of the rectification system for maintaining the liquid level, at this time the reaction system liquid level controller LIC2 output a = 60%, at this time a is greater than the split point x, the output of the first calculation module Y1 is c = a / x = 60% / 50%, since the output of the first calculation module Y1 is maximum 100%, therefore, at this time the output of the first calculation module Y1 is c = 100%, if the output of the production pipeline flow controller FIC2 at this time is b = 20%, the output of the second calculation module Y2 is d = b / y = 20% / 33.3% = 60%, after selection by the low selection module, e = min{100%, 60%}, at this time the input of the direct production regulating valve V4 is 60%, the output e of the low selection module is simultaneously input to the third calculation module Y3 and the fourth calculation module Y4, then the third calculation module Y3 = (60%-50%*60%) / (1-50%) = 60%, the fourth calculation module Y4 = (20%-33.3%*60%) / (1-33.3%) = 0%, at this time the input of the production buffer regulating valve V5 is 60%, the input of the buffer production regulating valve V6 is 0%, the opening degrees of the direct production regulating valve V4 and the production buffer regulating valve V5 ensure that the rectification system production maintains the stability of the liquid level on the basis of meeting the downstream user demand, and the buffer production regulating valve V6 is in a full-closed state.

[0093] In summary, the reaction system liquid level and production flow control method provided by the embodiments of the present application controls the liquid level and production flow of the reaction system by using the split control and low selection module of the production pipeline flow controller FIC2 and the reaction system liquid level controller LIC2, the first calculation module Y1, the second calculation module Y2, the third calculation module Y3 and the fourth calculation module Y4 to control the flow decoupling mode when the demand of the downstream user changes, so that the production buffer regulating valve V5 and the buffer production regulating valve V6 do not exist in the state of being opened at the same time, and the reaction system production and the demand of the downstream user can be quickly responded to, the production flow of the reaction system is adjusted, the energy consumption is reduced, and the cost is saved.

[0094] At the same time, the material in the reaction system can be avoided to be cooled and enter the buffer system at the same time when the material is produced, and the material in the buffer system can be heated and then enter the downstream user, the use amount of cold and hot medium is reduced, the energy waste in the material production process is reduced, the system energy consumption and operation cost are reduced, and the purpose is achieved.
