By expressing constraint priorities as propositional logics and by transforming the propositional logics into inequalities,the infeasibility and constraint prioritization issues are solved in the MPC. Constraints with higher priorities are met first, and then these with lower priorities are satisfied as much as possible. This new approach is illustrated in the control of a heavy oil fractionator-Shell column. The overall control performance has been significantly improved through the infeasibility and control priorities handling.展开更多

The process unit calibration data have revealed that the recovery of total sulfur reaches 99.86%, which is 6.65 percentage points higher than that before application of the RAR technology. The SO2 content in vented tail gas is 0.27 t/d, which is much less than the latest emission standard prescribed by the State. The factors that can affect the unit operation have been analyzed and corresponding measures have been suggested including the necessity to improve the control over the reaction temperature in the tail gas hydrogenation unit.展开更多

The effects of temperature, fluidizing medium and contact time on migration of antimony compounds were investigated,and the mechanism regarding antimony migration was proposed. Meanwhile, it was disclosed that Ni on catalyst could stimulate Sb contained in the metal passivator to move onto FCC catalyst in tandem with the interaction between nickel and antimony.展开更多
