Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of separation device optimization, and specifically to an intelligent optimization method for a separation device based on digital twins and AI models. Background Art
[0002] In modern industrial production, separation devices, as key equipment, are widely used in many fields such as petrochemicals, food processing, and environmental protection. Their operating efficiency and stability directly affect the benefits and quality of the entire production process. With the acceleration of industrial intelligence, traditional separation device optimization methods have the following problems:
[0003] 1. Data processing challenges: Separation equipment generates massive amounts of data during operation, often subject to high noise, numerous outliers, and missing data. For example, in distillation separation units in the petrochemical industry, sensors may generate erroneous data due to factors such as equipment vibration and environmental interference. Without effective processing, this can severely impact the accuracy of subsequent model analysis and optimization decisions.
[0004] 2. Poor adaptability to operating conditions: The operating parameters and performance of separation devices vary significantly across production cycles and operating conditions. Traditional optimization methods struggle to quickly and accurately analyze and assess operating condition changes, making it difficult to adjust operating parameters in a timely manner. For example, in the food processing industry, when producing different types of products, the material characteristics and throughput of the separation device change. Traditional methods are unable to achieve adaptive optimization, resulting in poor product separation and low production efficiency.
[0005] 3. Insufficient model accuracy: Existing mechanistic models struggle to fully describe the complex operational processes of separation devices, making it difficult to accurately predict device performance and optimize operating parameters. For example, in the environmental protection industry, wastewater treatment and separation devices are complex and variable in composition, making traditional models unable to accurately simulate the separation process. This results in unstable treatment results and makes it difficult to meet emission standards.
[0006] 4. Lack of real-time and intelligence: Traditional optimization methods are unable to obtain real-time device operating data and perform online optimization, making it difficult to achieve dynamic management of separation devices. For example, in chemical companies with continuous production, if a device operating abnormality occurs, traditional methods cannot detect and address it in a timely manner, which may lead to production interruption and huge economic losses.
