Remixing control for divided - wall columns / Hao Ling in Industrial & engineering chemistry research, Vol. 50 N° 22 (Novembre 2011) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Industrial & engineering chemistry research > Vol. 50 N° 22 (Novembre 2011) . - pp. 12694–12705 Titre : Remixing control for divided - wall columns Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Hao Ling, Auteur ; Zhi Cai, Auteur ; Hao Wu, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : pp. 12694–12705 Note générale : Chimie industrielle Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Energy  saving Résumé : The divided-wall column is an energy-saving promising technology for the separation of ternary mixtures, but control is difficult because of its complexity structure and interactions of control loops. Although a few control methods have been reported, the general control method for all ternary mixtures is still pending because of the difference of relative volatilities. In this work, we explore a new control structure by control the remixing of the intermediate at the top trays in the prefractionator section for the separation of benzene, toluene, and o-xylene. It is found that avoiding the remixing of toluene helps the divided-wall column work very close to the optimal conditions. The remixing of toluene is studied at steady state first. Then, a remixing control structure with one remixing control loop and three composition control loops is presented. Minimized energy consumption is achieved by avoiding the remixing of toluene at the top of the prefractionator. Disturbances in feed flow rate and feed compositions are used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control structure. Remixing profile analysis of intermediate compounds gives an easy and new way to design and control the divided-wall column at energy saving conditions.
