Nonlinear feedback control scheme for reactive distillation column has been proposed. The proposed control scheme is derived in the framework of Nonlinear Internal Model Control. The product compositions and liquid and vapor flow rates in sections of the reactive distillation column are estimated from selected tray temperature measurements by an observer. The control scheme is applied to example reactive distillation column in which two products are produced in a single column and the reversible reaction A + B = C + D occurs. The relative volatilities are favorable for reactive distillation so that the reactants are intermediated boilers between the light product C and the heavy product D. Ideal physical properties, kinetics and ...

The dynamics and control of two complex column configurations (sidestream column with stripper; prcfractionater/sidestream column configuration), which are multivariable interacting and nonlinear, have been studied. A new control scheme developed by Hanand Park(1993) to deal with the nonlinear and multivariable nature of distillation processes has been applied to these complex distillation configurations. The control scheme incorporates a nonlinear wave model into a generic model control framework. An observer based on the nonlinear wave model is used to determine the profile positions of distillation column sections. The control scheme enables tight control of the profile position of each column section that leads to fast stabilization of product compositions.

In order to improve the operability in a fully thermally coupled distillation column the main column is separated into an upper and a lower column, and its design method is explained. With a distillation experiment using a two-inch column the operability of the proposed column is examined. Readily available methanol, ethanol and propanol are used as the feed, and the experimental result is compared with that of the HYSYS simulation. It is found from the experiment that the recovery ranges between 58.8% and 68% and the distillation efficiency is lower than that of the simulation. consumes less energy than an original column, it is not widely implemented in practice due to its operational difficulty. However, it is proved that the proposed distillation column can be operated without compressors and it can be practically utilized.

분리할 성분들의 비점이 비슷하거나 공비를 형성하는 경우 일반적인 증류로 완전 분리가 불가능하다. 이를 극복하기 위하여 제 3성분을 가하여 상대 휘발도에 변화를 주는 추출 증류가 사용된다. 일반적으로 두 개의 증류탑으로 이루어진 추출 증류 공정이 사용되나 열 통합된 연속식 증류탑으로 이루어진 추출 열 통합 증류 공정은 보다 에너지 효율이 높고 장치비가 절감되는 장점을 가지고 있다. 그러나 추출 열 통합 증류 공정은 종래의 추출 증류 공정에 비하여 운전 및 제어가 어려워 널리 사용되지 못하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 단점을 극복할 수 있도록, 또한 외란에 대하여 안전한 조업이 이루어지도록 할 목적으로 최적 조업조건에서의 추출 열 통합 증류 공정의 운전 및 제어를 연구하였고 여러 가지의 제어 구조를 제안하였다. 제안된 제어구조 중에 프로필 위치 제어가 가장 좋은 제어 성능을 나타내었다.

Design of gas concentration process using a fully thermally coupled distillation is conducted with the commercial design software HYSYS. Detailed procedure of the design is explained, and the performance of the process is compared with that of a conventional system A structural design is exercised for the design convenience. The design outcome indicates that the procedure is simple and efficient. The structural information yielded from equilibrium distillation gives an easy formulation of distillation system which is the initial input required from the setup of the distillation system The performance of the new process indicates that an energy saving of 17.6 % is obtained compared with the conventional process while total number of trays maintains at the same.

The azeotrope of methyl acetate methanol and water was isolated using extractive distillation with water as entrainer. The pressure-swing extractive distillation (PSED) process and vapor side-stream distillation column (VSDC) with the rectifier process were designed to separate the methyl acetate, methanol and water mixture. It was revealed that the VSDC with the rectifier process had a reduction in energy consumption than the PSED process. Four control schemes of the two process were investigated: Double temperature control scheme (CS1), $Q_R/F$ feedforward control of reboiler duty scheme for PESD (CS2), $Q_R/F$ feedback control scheme for VSDC (CS3), the feedback control scheme of sensitive plate temperature of side-drawing distillation column to dominate the compressor shaft speed (CS4). Feed flow and composition disturbance were used to evaluate the dynamic performance. As a result, CS4 is a preferable choice for separation of methyl acetate-methanol-water mixture. A control scheme combining the operating parameters of dynamic equipment with the control indicators of static equipment was proposed in this paper. It means using the sensitive plate temperature of side-drawing column to control the compressor shaft speed. This is a new control scheme for extractive distillation.

We develope a model that can manipulate the reflux ratio of a batch distillation process in real time for optimal operations. Firstly, reflux ratio decision model for batch distillation unit was developed using the simple short-cut method. Secondly, more detailed rigorous method was applied to improve the accuracy of the model. Based on these models, operational strategies for the optimal reflux ratio was proposed. The results are illustrated with suitable examples and compared with the results using commercial simulator.

Though a fully thermally coupled distillation column consumes less energy than an original column, it is not widely implemented in practice due to its operational difficulty. A new fully thermally coupled distillation column is proposed for the operability improvement, and its performance is investigated. The main improvement is the separation of a main column to give an upper and lower columns and the installation of an intermediate heat exchanger between them to regulate the fluctuation of product compositions. A proper manipulation of column pressure in the separated main columns made easy vapor flow without a compressor. The operability improvement is examined in a hexane process from the dynamic simulation using a commercial design software HYSYS. The simulation results indicate that the coupling among inputs and outputs is loosened to make easy manipulation of product compositions in the proposed distillation system.

The major difficulty in distillation column control lies in executing the set point tracking and the disturbance rejection, because of continuous changes in model order and dead time. For that, generalized predictive control(GPC) was applied to distillation column control. Recursive least square method was used to adjust the changes of model order and dead time. Quadratic progamming(QP) was used to solve the constraint problems in control action and the rate of control action. As a result of the simulation on the dynamic simulator(SPEEDUP) and the experiment on pilot plant, the ability of the set point tracking and the disturbance rejection was acceptable to apply to the real distillation column.

고농도 과산화수소를 이용한 연구가 활발해짐에 따라 과산화수소의 국내 생산을 위한 증류 방법에 대한 연구가 요구된다. 증류 방법에는 증류할 물질의 공급방식과 증류 회수, 증류 압력 등의 증류 조건에 따라 여러 가지 방법이 존재하며 과산화수소 증류에는 진공증류법이 사용된다. 진공 증류는 과산화수소의 열분해와 공기 중 입자와의 반응을 줄일 수 있다. 증류 조건은 Raoult's law를 이용하여 결정하였다. 실험 장치의 낮은 진공도와 진공도의 조절이 중요한 문제로 나타났으나 진공 챔버의 교체로 진공의 누설을 막아 진공도를 높였으며, 실험 장치에 정량밸브를 설치하여 진공도를 조절하였다.
