History and General Characteristics of the Adaptive Control System of the Deuterium Pre-concentration Stage in Heavy Water Production

Abstract

The history of creation in 1971–1975 years at SDB MMS of the Institute of Cybernetics (Kyiv city) the control system for the deuterium pre-concentration stage in heavy water production at Dneprodzerzhinsk chemical plant (now Kamianske city, PJSC “DneprAzot”) is considered. It is given a technological block-diagram of the stage with its components and block-diagram of ACSTP which was developed in consequence of investigations of this complex managed object. A mathematical model of the distillation columns in the separating units of hydrogen isotopes which was used for synthesis of an algorithm of the adaptive stochastic optimal system with active accumulation of information about managed probabilistic processes is described. The results of the carried out tests of the system confirmed its efficiency.
