Fuzzy self-tuning PID control of the operation temperatures in a two-staged membrane separation process

A two-staged membrane separation process for hydrogen recovery from refinery gases is introduced. The principle of the gas membrane separation process and the influence of the operation temperatures are analyzed. As the conventional PID controller is difficult to make the operation temperatures steady, a fuzzy self-tuning PID control algorithm is proposed. The application shows that the algorithm is effective, the operation temperatures of both stages can be controlled steadily, and the operation flexibility and adaptability of the hydrogen recovery unit are enhanced with safety. This study lays a foundation to optimize the control of the membrane separation process and thus ensure the membrane performance.

Radial Basis Function Neural Networks-Based Modeling of the Membrane Separation Process: Hydrogen Recovery from Refinery Gases

Membrane technology has found wide applications in the petrochemical industry, mainly in the purification and recovery of the hydrogen resources. Accurate prediction of the membrane separation performance plays an important role in carrying out advanced process control （APC）. For the first time, a soft-sensor model for the membrane separation process has been established based on the radial basis function （RBF） neural networks. The main performance parameters, i.e, permeate hydrogen concentration, permeate gas flux, and residue hydrogen concentration, are estimated quantitatively by measuring the operating temperature, feed-side pressure, permeate-side pressure, residue-side pressure, feed-gas flux, and feed-hydrogen concentration excluding flow structure, membrane parameters, and other compositions. The predicted results can gain the desired effects. The effectiveness of this novel approach lays a foundation for integrating control technology and optimizing the operation of the gas membrane separation process.

A review of state-of-the-art processing operations in coal preparation

Coal preparation is an integral part of the coal commodity supply chain. This stage of post-mining, pre-utilization beneficiation uses low-cost separation technologies to remove unwanted mineral matter and moisture which hinder the value of the coal product. Coal preparation plants typically employ several parallel circuits of cleaning and dewatering operations, with each circuit designed to optimally treat a specific size range of coal. Recent innovations in coal preparation have increased the efficiency and capac- ity of individual unit operations while reinforcing the standard parallel cleaning approach. This article, which describes the historical influences and state-of-the-art design for the various coal preparation unit operations, is organized to distinguish between coarse/intermediate coal cleaning and fine/ultrafine coal cleaning. Size reduction, screening, classification, cleaning, dewatering, waste disposal unit operations are particularly highlighted, with a special focus on the LI.S. design philosophy. Notable differences between the U.S. and international operations are described as appropriate.

Separation process study of liquid phase catalytic exchange reaction based on the Pt/C/PTFE catalysts

The liquid phase catalytic exchange(LPCE) reaction is an effective process for heavy water detritiation and production of deuterium-depleted potable water. In the current study, hydrophobic carbon-supported platinum catalysts(Pt/C/PTFE) with high efficiency as reported previously for LPCE were prepared and comprehensive performance evaluation method is applied to evaluate the separation behaviors of LPCE systematically. Experimental results indicate that the optimum reaction temperature of 60–80℃ and the molar feed ratio G/L of 1.5–2.5 would lead to higher separation efficiencies. As to the packing method, a random packing mode with a packing ratio of hydrophobic catalysts 0.25 is recommended. In addition, thermodynamic analysis corresponds well with experimental results under lower temperature and G/L, while the suppression of kinetic factors should not be neglected when T > 80℃ and G/L > 1.5.

Industrial Progress:New Energy-Efficient Absorbents for the CO_(2) Separation from Natural Gas,Syngas and Flue Gas

The CO2 separation from natural gas, syngas or flue gas represents an important industrial field of applications. An economic and energy-efficient CO2 separation from these gas streams is a prerequisite for sustainable industry contributions to the megatrends resource efficiency and globalization of technologies. One way of reducing operational expenditure for these separation processes is the development of better performing CO2 absorbents. Although a number of absorbents for the separation of CO2 from process gas streams exist, the need for the development of CO2 absorbents with an improved absorption performance, less corrosion and foaming, no nitrosamine formation, lower energy requirement and therefore less operational expenditure remains. Recent industrial activities have led to the development of novel high-performance CO2 scrubbing agents that can be employed in numerous industrial processes such as natural gas treatment, purification of syngas and the scrubbing of flue gas. The objective of this paper is to introduce these new high-performance scrubbing agents and to compare their performance with other state-of-the-art absorbents. It turned out, that the evaluated absorbents offer high cyclic capacities in the range of 2.4 to 2.6 mol CO2/kg absorbent and low absorption enthalpies (–30 kJ/mol) allowing for distinctive savings in the regeneration energy of the absorbent. Calculations with the modified Kremser model resulted in a reduction of the specific reboiler heat duty of 55%. Furthermore, the absorbents are less corrosive than standard amines as indicated by the measured corrosion rates of 0.21 mm/y versus 1.18 mm/y for a piperazine/methyldiethanolamine mixture. Based on new experimental results it is shown how substantial savings in operational and capital expenditure can be realized due to favorable absorbent properties. The novel high-performance CO2 system solutions meet recent industrial absorbent requirements and allow for more efficient or new CO2 separation processes.

Accuracy analysis of the optimal separable approximation method of one-way wave migration

An approximation for the one-way wave operator takes the form of separated space and wave-number variables and makes it possible to use the FFT, which results in a great improvement in the computational efficiency. From the function approximation perspective, the OSA method shares the same separable approximation format to the one-way wave operator as other separable approximation methods but it is the only global function approximation among these methods. This leads to a difference in the phase error curve, impulse response, and migration result from other separable approximation methods. The difference is that the OSA method has higher accuracy, and the sensitivity to the velocity variation declines with increasing order.

Experimental Study on Three-phase Separation of Oily Sludge

Three-phase centrifuge was used to process oily sludge,and the requirement of mud,oil and water three-phase separation was satisfied through the optimization of parameters. The results showed that when the input quantity was lower than 5 m^3/h,the optimal operation parameters of the three-phase centrifuge are shown as follows: the frequency of the main motor and vice motor was 33 and 30 Hz respectively,and the flocculant flow was 0. 7 m^3/h,while the oily sludge temperature was 55 ℃. Water content in the separated sludge decreased from 98% to lower than 70%,and the goal of reduction and harmless treatment of oily sludge could be achieved,which could provide essential conditions for subsequent resource utilization and could be used to guide industrial production.

Evolutionary Computation for Realizing Distillation Separation Sequence Optimization Synthesis

Evolutionary algorithm is applied for distillation separation sequence optimization synthesis problems with combination explosion. The binary tree data structure is used to describe the distillation separation sequence, and it is directly applied as the coding method. Genetic operators, which ensure to prohibit illegal filial generations completely, are designed by using the method of graph theory. The crossover operator based on a single parent or two parents is designed successfully. The example shows that the average ratio of search space from evolutionary algorithm with two-parent genetic operation is lower, whereas the rate of successful minimizations from evolutionary algorithm with single parent genetic operation is higher.

Separation of Waves by Interpolation Method

The separation of waves by an interpolation method is presented in detail. The composite wave sequences measured with two wave gauges in the wave flume are separated very quickly into two series of incident and reflected waves in time domain via the simple interpolation and difference operations. Then, the reflection coefficient can be estimated easily and accurately without calculation of wave heights and phases. The intial phase of reflection can also be detected easily for improvement of the accuracy of calculation. The present method is applicable to both regular and irregular trains of waves based on the linear wave theory which are proved to be accurate through numerical sample tests. Physical experiments are conducted and compared with Goda′s method and analytical method with satisfactory results. Furthermore, the present method can be used for the absorbing wave maker to extract reflected waves in real time.

A Novel Operation Policy for Dilute Component Separation-Quasi-batch Distillation

A new operation policy--quasi-batch distillation for recovering infinitesimal amounts species existing in a mixture is presented. In quasi-batch distillation operation, feed is introduced with a constant flow rate onto the feed stage of the column, and the flow rate of the distillate is the same as that of the feed, whereas the bottom product is withdrawn periodically. The behavior of quasi-batch distillation is simulated and analyzed through an example on heavy water separation. Comparing with continuous or batch distillation, the new operation policy is more reliable and efficient to achieve higher recovery of dilute component. This is especially suitable for separating small amount of precious species from large amount of raw material.

Necessary and Sufficient Conditions for the Separability and the R-Separability of the Irrotational Stokes Equation and Applications

In the present manuscript, we formulate and prove rigorously, necessary and sufficient conditions for all kinds of separation of variables that a solution of the irrotational Stokes equation may exhibit, in any orthogonal axisymmetric system, namely: simple separation and R-separation. These conditions may serve as a road map for obtaining the corresponding solution space of the irrotational Stokes equation, in any orthogonal axisymmetric coordinate system. Additionally, we investigate how the inversion of the coordinate system, with respect to a sphere, affects the type of separation. Specifically, we prove that if the irrotational Stokes equation separates variables in an axisymmetric coordinate system, then it R-separates variables in the corresponding inverted coordinate system. This is a quite useful outcome since it allows the derivation of solutions for a problem, from the knowledge of the solution of the same problem in the inverted geometry and vice-versa. Furthermore, as an illustration, we derive the eigenfunctions of the irrotational Stokes equation governing the flow past oblate spheroid particles and inverted oblate spheroidal particles.

Devolution of Sta. Ana Davao Port： Then and Now

Better seaport operation is one of the indicators that a city is achieving its goals towards progress and development. The Sta. Ana Davao Port for example is one of the many seaports in Region XI that caters to thousands of passengers going from one terminal to another and from one island to another. In this study, it will revisit the status of Sta. Davao Port from the time when it was devolved from the national goverrmaent under Philippine Ports Authority （PPA） to local government of Davao City. The devolution was in accordance with the Memorandum of Agreement by two parties, which clearly stipulates the full-control of operation of the local government of Davao City with an end view of bringing more investors, tourist hubs and other business related concerns. This study utilized descriptive-evaluative method using interview guide question as a qualitative approach in gathering data. The participants were the former employees of the PPA and the current management of Sta. Ana Davao Port under the local government. Data gathered were analyzed using Nvivo software for qualitative research and content analysis to obtain factual information direct from the participants. It was found out that most of the employees agreed that the office needs improvement in terms of physical, financial and human aspects. For several years, the passengers of both local and foreign shipping lines were complaining on its limited berthing capacities, saturated container yards and even worse the collapse of the berthing area which resulted to the delay of transactions in the operation of the vessels. In spite of employees claimed that prior to devolution of Sta. Ana Davao Port to the local government of Davao City, the operation was well-managed and maintained, thereby resulted to passengers＇ satisfaction. Thus, the researchers aimed to provide an action plan as basis by the management of the Sta. Davao Port to achieve its vision, missions and goals.

CFD numerical simulation of flow velocity characteristics of hydrocyclone

A CFD based numerical simulation of flow velocity of hydrocyclone was conducted with different structural and operational parameters to investigate its distribution characteristics and influencing mechanism. The results show there exist several unsymmetrical envelopes of equal vertical velocities in both upward inner flows and downward outer flows in the hydrocyclone, and the cone angle and apex diameter have remarkable influence on the vertical location of the cone bottom of the envelope of zero vertical velocity. It is also found that the tangential velocity isolines exist in the horizontal planes located in the effective separation region of hydrocyclone. The increase of feed pressure has almost no effect on the distribution characteristics of both vertical velocity and tangential velocity in hydrocyclone, but the magnitude and gradient of tangential velocity are increased obviously to make the motion velocity of high density particles to the wall increased and to make the cyclonic separation effect improved.

国有资产改革对自然资源资产“两权”分离的启示与借鉴

我国国有资产管理体制经过了从统一到分散再到统一的改革历程。在此过程中,国务院设立国有资产监督管理委员会,并逐步推动国有资产管理方式从以管企业为主向以管资本为主转变,探索了国有资产所有权与监管权“两权”分离的路径。鉴于自然资源资产管理与国有资产管理存在较强相似性,国有资产投资运营公司在促进国有资产“两权”分离中的关键作用,为自然资源资产所有权与监管权的分离提供了重要启示和借鉴。自然资源资产管理在完成委托代理机制试点后,建议管理方式由“资源管理”逐步转向“资产管理”,授权设立自然资源投资运营公司,以实现自然资源资产“两权”的有效分离,从“自然资源部门—自然资源资产”的二级管理体制转变为“自然资源部门—自然资源投资运营公司—自然资源资产”的三级管理体制,以期为推进自然资源资产的有效监管和资产增值提供改革思路与参考。
