Abstract

The oil refinery plants have a particularly high energy consumption in the distillation process. Several authors state that these are the systems with the highest energy consumption in the petrochemical industry. Currently, work is being done on the implementation of adaptive controllers in order to improve the efficiency of the distillation process and the quality of the product. In this work the control of a binary distillation column developed within a 3D virtual laboratory is presented. Adaptive control by reference model (MRCA) is used for the manipulation of bottom and distillate concentrations. Initially, the mathematical description of the process is obtained, together with the computer-aided design, to subsequently implement the control technique. As a result, the behavior of the controlled system in simulation is shown and compared with the response of the embedded system within the virtual environment. The main contribution of this work is the interaction that a user can have with this type of processes and the possibility of implementing modern control strategies within this type of environments as a low-cost tool to support education and training activities.

二元精馏塔三维虚拟环境自适应解耦控制

炼油厂在蒸馏过程中能耗特别高。几位作者指出，这些是石化工业中能耗最高的系统。目前，为了提高蒸馏过程的效率和产品的质量，正在进行自适应控制器的实施工作。本文介绍了在三维虚拟实验室中开发的二元精馏塔的控制。参考模型自适应控制(MRCA)用于控制底部和馏分浓度。首先，获得过程的数学描述，并结合计算机辅助设计，随后实现控制技术。结果显示了被控系统在仿真中的行为，并与嵌入式系统在虚拟环境中的响应进行了比较。这项工作的主要贡献是用户可以与这种类型的过程进行交互，以及在这种类型的环境中实现现代控制策略作为支持教育和培训活动的低成本工具的可能性。

期刊介绍： Engineering Review is an international journal designed to foster the exchange of ideas and transfer of knowledge between scientists and engineers involved in various engineering sciences that deal with investigations related to design, materials, technology, maintenance and manufacturing processes. It is not limited to the specific details of science and engineering but is instead devoted to a very wide range of subfields in the engineering sciences. It provides an appropriate resort for publishing the papers covering prior applications – based on the research topics comprising the entire engineering spectrum. Topics of particular interest thus include: mechanical engineering, naval architecture and marine engineering, fundamental engineering sciences, electrical engineering, computer sciences and civil engineering. Manuscripts addressing other issues may also be considered if they relate to engineering oriented subjects. The contributions, which may be analytical, numerical or experimental, should be of significance to the progress of mentioned topics. Papers that are merely illustrations of established principles or procedures generally will not be accepted. Occasionally, the magazine is ready to publish high-quality-selected papers from the conference after being renovated, expanded and written in accordance with the rules of the magazine. The high standard of excellence for any of published papers will be ensured by peer-review procedure. The journal takes into consideration only original scientific papers.
