[0167] Real application example of this embodiment

[0168] This embodiment has been actually applied in the airtightness detection system of the ethylene production unit in a large petrochemical plant. The unit has a complex pipe network structure, including 86 airtightness detection points, which are interconnected by valves and pipes to form a dynamically changing network topology. Due to frequent process switches during production, the valve switch states change at any time, resulting in continuous dynamic changes in the topology of the detection network.

[0169] Previously, the petrochemical plant used the traditional independent Kalman filtering method to monitor each detection point, but there were the following problems in actual applications:

[0170] Unable to accurately locate the leakage position: When there is a small leakage, multiple interconnected detection points show anomalies at the same time, and it is difficult for the independent filtering method to determine the position of the real leakage point;

[0171] High false alarm rate: Topology changes (such as valve switches) often cause sudden changes in sensor data, and the system cannot distinguish fluctuations caused by normal operations from leakage anomalies;

[0172] Response lag: The existing methods cannot effectively handle topology changes across sampling intervals in a high-speed gas flow system, resulting in system response lag.

[0173] The specific implementation of this embodiment in this ethylene unit includes the following examples:

[0174] Example of multi-detection point system modeling:

[0175] In actual applications, we collected the basic information of 86 detection points, including sensor types, position coordinates, and initial connection relationships, and constructed an initial graph structure model. The characteristic information collected at each detection point includes data such as pressure (Bar), temperature (°C), flow rate (m³ / h), and gas component concentration, with a sampling frequency of 10 Hz. Table 1 shows an example of the characteristic information of some core detection points:

[0176] Table 1: Example of characteristic information of some detection points;

[0177]

[0178] The input of the graph convolutional network is a feature matrix of 86×12 dimensions (86 detection points, with 12 feature parameters for each detection point), and the output is a hidden state matrix of 86×32 dimensions, effectively extracting the spatial correlation features between detection points.

[0179] Example of edge functionality verification algorithm:

[0180] In practical applications, this algorithm automatically identifies the true physical connection relationship of the detection network by analyzing the propagation characteristics of pressure waves in the system. We inject a tiny pressure pulse signal (peak value 0.1 Bar, duration 0.5 seconds) at a key position (P01) in the system, and then analyze the time-delay response of the pressure signals at other detection points. The results are shown in Table 2:

[0181] Table 2: Results of time-delay correlation analysis of pressure wave propagation;

[0182]

[0183] Example of topology prediction and dynamic adaptation:

[0184] During the process switching, the system can predict future topology changes based on historical topology change patterns. Table 3 shows the prediction results of the system for the key valve state changes during a typical process switching operation (from normal production mode to low-load mode):

[0185] Table 3: Results of topology prediction and dynamic adaptation example;

[0186]

[0187] Verification of technical effects:

[0188] We select "improvement in detection accuracy" and "improvement in dynamic adaptation ability" as the two most important technical effects of this embodiment for verification and analysis:

[0189] Verification of the improvement effect of detection accuracy:

[0190] To verify the improvement effect of this embodiment in the airtightness detection accuracy, we simulated different degrees of leakage in different areas of the ethylene plant and compared the detection results of the traditional independent Kalman filtering method with this embodiment. Table 4 shows the comparison results of 10 simulated leakage tests:

[0191] Table 4: Results of comparative experiments on airtightness detection accuracy;

[0192]

[0193] As can be seen from Table 4, compared with the traditional method, the detection time of this embodiment is shortened by 74.0% on average, and the positioning accuracy of the leakage point is improved by 71.1%, which fully proves the significant advantages of this embodiment in terms of detection accuracy. Especially for minor leaks (<0.5 L / min), the detection ability of this embodiment is improved more significantly.

[0194] Verification of the improvement effect of dynamic adaptation ability:

[0195] To verify the improvement effect of this embodiment in terms of the ability to adapt to dynamic topology changes, we recorded the system's response to topology changes during the production process switch. Table 5 shows the comparison results between the traditional method and this embodiment in 3 typical process switch scenarios:

[0196] Table 5: Comparison experimental results of the ability to adapt to dynamic topology changes;

[0197]

[0198] As can be seen from Table 5, in the scenario of dynamic topology changes, the response time of this embodiment is shortened by 85.2% on average, and the number of false alarms is reduced from an average of 11.33 times to 0.33 times, which fully verifies the significant improvement of this embodiment in terms of the ability to adapt to dynamic topology structures.

[0199] The embodiments of the present invention have been described above, but these embodiments are not limited to the above specific embodiments. The above specific embodiments are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Under the inspiration of this embodiment, those of ordinary skill in the art can also make more forms of equivalent embodiments, all of which fall within the protection scope of this embodiment.
