Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of diesel pour point and cold filter plugging point prediction technology, and provides a method and system for predicting diesel pour point and cold filter plugging point. Background Technology

[0002] Pour point and cold filter plugging point (CFPP) are important indicators characterizing the low-temperature performance of diesel fuel. Pour point (SP) indicates the highest temperature at which diesel fuel loses its fluidity in a cold environment. CFPP indicates the highest temperature at which diesel fuel can clog the fuel filter when passing through the diesel engine's fuel supply system. CFPP is directly related to the low-temperature performance of diesel fuel, while pour point is mainly related to the storage and transportation of diesel fuel. When the diesel fuel temperature drops to the CFPP temperature, the wax crystals formed will clog the filter, affecting the normal fuel supply and consequently impacting the normal operation of the engine.

[0003] With the development of computer and analytical technologies, the development of petroleum processing models has risen to the molecular level, enabling the construction of theoretical models with strong universality based on the chemical composition of raw materials. The rapid development of large-scale analytical techniques such as mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance, and infrared spectroscopy has provided the necessary conditions for establishing molecular-scale models, while computer technology has provided ample support for handling complex molecular dynamics calculations. Based on the molecular composition of diesel fuel, using a matrix to describe the molecular composition and component content, properties such as molecular weight, elemental content, density, and distillation range in diesel fuel can be obtained using the group contribution method with relatively small errors. However, the calculated pour point and cold filter plugging point deviate significantly from the actual values. Summary of the Invention

[0042] Step S106: Apply the preset structure-property relationship to the virtual molecule to obtain the virtual molecule content and the first property calculation function;

[0043] Step S108: Optimize the calculation function of the first property through an optimization algorithm, and limit the error between the actual value and the calculated value of the first property to be less than a preset value, so as to obtain the relative content of virtual molecules in virtual diesel; wherein, the preset value is generally less than 0.01 to 0.05.

[0044] Step S110: Obtain the diesel fuel molecular matrix based on the relative content and structure vector of the virtual molecules;

[0045] Step S112: Input the diesel molecular matrix into the neural network model for prediction to obtain the pour point and cold filter plugging point of diesel.

[0046] According to the diesel pour point and cold filter plugging point prediction method provided in this embodiment, diesel is first analyzed and tested using a certain analytical instrument to obtain the actual value of the first property. Then, based on the main homologues in the diesel structure, molecules with similar reaction characteristics or structural features are grouped to obtain a certain set of central molecules. The set of central molecules is used to obtain virtual molecules according to certain rules. The virtual molecules are used to obtain the virtual molecule content and the first property calculation function by applying a preset structure-property relationship. A certain optimization algorithm is used to limit the error between the property calculation value and the actual value to be less than the preset value, and the relative content of each molecule in the virtual diesel is obtained. Combining a certain structure vector with the molecular content relationship, a diesel molecular matrix is ​​obtained. Using a neural network method, the diesel molecular matrix is ​​input to obtain the pour point and cold filter plugging point of diesel. This prediction method has high accuracy in predicting the pour point and cold filter plugging point of diesel.

Specifically, the diesel fuel molecular matrix is ​​first divided into a training set and a prediction set. Then, the training set is input into an initial neural network for training to obtain the neural network model. Finally, the prediction set is input into the neural network model for prediction to obtain the pour point and CPP of diesel fuel. By using a neural network to analyze complex diesel fuel molecular structure information and predict molecular properties, the pour point and CPP can be predicted more conveniently, economically, and accurately.

[0065] The diesel pour point and cold filter plugging point prediction system provided in this embodiment includes an analysis module, an acquisition module, an expansion module, an application module, an optimization module, a matrix acquisition module, and a prediction module. The analysis module analyzes and tests the diesel fuel using analytical instruments to obtain the actual value of the first property. The acquisition module acquires the main homologues in the diesel fuel structure and obtains the central molecule set based on these homologues. The expansion module expands the central molecule set according to preset rules to obtain virtual molecules.
