基于线性规划的单杂质间歇过程用水最小化

对间歇化工过程的单杂质用水网络提出了以新鲜水量最小为目标的优化设计方法。该方法对间歇过程的每个操作假定为一个操作接一个储罐，对所有操作按出口浓度从小到大排序，避免了高浓度水回用到低浓度水的操作中，去掉了用水网络中多余的连接，构造了用水网络超结构。该超结构可以表述为一个线性规划模型。通过GAMS求解该模型得出每个操作周期的最小新鲜水量，并通过证明得出该最小用水量随操作周期增加最终不再变化。该方法可以用作有、无中间储罐间歇过程用水网络综合，实例计算结果表明该方法是可行的，与其他方法相比更简单。     

考虑再生操作的间歇过程用水网络优化

当前,水资源短缺与污染问题日益严重,废水再生后回用对节约水源和保护环境具有重要的意义。针对间歇过程,为了合理利用不同品质的过程水源,实现用水系统的最大水回用,本文建立了一个包含水源-水阱、水源-中间储罐-水阱、水源-连续再生体系-水阱与水源-废水处理系统的用水网络超结构,基于连续时间模型建立数学模型,并采用多目标分步法依次优化新鲜水用量、再生单元的再生速率以及中间储罐数目,最终得到新鲜水消耗量以及废水排放量最小的最优用水网络结构。同时,为贴近实际生产中的多操作周期过程,本文针对用水系统从启动周期到稳定周期的全过程,进行了用水网络的设计、分析与优化。最后通过算例计算,验证了本文所提方法的合理有效性。

带有中间储罐的间歇精馏工艺动态控制模拟优化

甲酸甲酯-甲醇-水是化工生产过程中最常见的三元混合物之一。目前,间歇精馏工艺分离该三元混合物的研究较少,在动态控制方面也少有报道。本文研究了分离甲酸甲酯-甲醇-水的带有中间储罐的间歇精馏工艺动态控制模拟优化。利用Aspen Plus和Aspen Plus Dynamics软件,在稳态模拟的基础上,分别考察了液位控制结构和组分控制结构两种控制方案。结果表明,液位控制结构控制性能较差,达到稳定后甲醇和水的纯度较低。组分控制结构虽能提高产品纯度,但出现了较为严重的振荡现象。根据对组分控制结构的动态响应分析,本文提出了一种改进的组分控制结构,该控制结构能实现带有中间储罐的间歇精馏工艺的稳健控制,使各产品纯度得到提高。     

最小化新鲜水量与废水处理量的图形方法

水分配网络由回用、再生和废水处理3个相互作用的子系统构成。设计水分配网络需考虑质量负荷固定和流量固定两类用水操作模型。目前，兼顾两类用水操作的图形方法对水分配网络的研究局限于一个或两个子系统的设计，而缺少一种能同时处理3个子系统的方法。本文用新的方法合成了反映用水网络水源盈亏情况的总组合曲线，并由此得到最小废水量和新鲜水量。为考虑废水再生情况，提出通过用再生水线和废水线合成废水排放线的方法求解再生情况下的最小新鲜水量。同时，根据总组合曲线得到了废水组合曲线，求得最小废水处理量。实例表明，本文所提方法可在具体网络设计前，在同一浓度-质量负荷图中确定单杂质水分配网络的各目标参数，且简便易行。

基于最大水回用规则的遗传算法用水网络优化

超结构用水网络规模大、结构复杂、求解比较困难。本文提出了基于最大水回用规则的遗传算法用水网络优化设计方法,该方法按出口浓度的单调性进行排列,使进口浓度或出口浓度达最大值以确定用水量,简化了用水网络超结构及数学模型。以最小新鲜水量为目标,以过程之间回用水量和废水量为基因,对简化后的用水网络运用遗传算法进行了优化设计。遗传算法采用浮点数编码方法,运用了算术交叉技术和种群间交叉技术。计算实例表明,本文所提方法可行,能利用最大水回用规则简化用水网络,并快速求出其最优解。

A heuristic design method for batch water-using networks of multiple contaminants with regeneration unit

This work develops a heuristic method for the design of batch water-using networks of multiple contaminants with regeneration unit based on the concepts of concentration potential. A water-using network involving regeneration unit can be formed by adding the regenerated stream(s) into the network involving reuse only. In the design procedure of the network operated in a single batch mode, time is taken as the primary factor and concentration potentials as the secondary one. For the networks operated in a repeated mode, the design procedure is similar to that for continuous processes, besides designing the storage tanks with the rules proposed. Continuous regeneration unit is selected in this work. With the proposed method, the network structure corresponding to the minimum freshwater consumption can be obtained. It is shown that the method proposed in this article is simple, effective and has clear engineering meaning.     

Synthesis of Water Utilization System Using Concentration Interval Analysis Method （Ⅱ） Discontinuous Process

The first part of the series of this article proposed a systematic method for the synthesis of continuous water-using system involving both non-mass-transfer-based and mass-transfer-based operations.This article,by extending the method,proposes a time-dependent concentration interval analysis（CIA）method to solve the problems associated with the synthesis of discontinuous or batch water-using systems involving both non-mass-transfer-based and mass-transfer-based operation.This method can effectively identify the possibility of water reuse and the amount of water reused under time constraints for minimizing the consumption of freshwater in single or repeated batch/discontinuous water-using systems.Moreover,on the basis of the heuristic method adapted from concentration interval analysis method for the continuous process network design,the network design for the discontinuous or batch process can be obtained through the designs for every time interval.Case study illustrates that the method presented in this article can simultaneously minimize the freshwater consumption in single or repeated batch/discontinuous water system and can determine a preferable storage tank capacity for some problems.

A graphical technique for the design of water-using networks in batch processes

This paper presents a graphical technique for the design of water-using networks in batch plants. Water integration is achieved by exploiting all possibilities of water reuse/recycle to minimize not only freshwater consumption, but also wastewater generation. Since time limitation for unmatched operating periods may be the primary barrier to the integration in batch processes, the installation of storage facilities is quite common to enhance the water recovery. For that reason, the cost in terms of storage facilities becomes another issue to be considered. This work is focused on network design, like the second stage of conventional pinch analyses. Some useful concepts and principles addressed in literatures are adopted to help the design of batch water network and to ensure the maximum recovery, thus the utility usage, the network structure and the storage policy can be obtained through the analysis. Once the freshwater expenditure is determined, workable ways are sought to cut the number of storage tanks and they also reduce the network complexity. In the context of this paper, a hybrid system that includes different type of water-using operations with distinct operating modes is taken into account to display the versatility of proposed approach. Furthermore, considering the fact that sometimes water reuse/recycle between certain operations is not allowed to prevent operational problems, the action of network design should be more deliberate owing to additional restraints. Therefore, the potential for water integration may be diminished, which means a less amount of water recovery. Finally, an illustrative example is provided to amplify the application of proposed approach. Like most graphical techniques, the presented work is restricted to a single key contaminant.     

间歇用水系统中废水回用与集中再生处理的调度优化设计方法

A two-stage approach for the synthesis of inter-plant water networks involving continuous and batch units

This paper presents a mathematical optimization model for inter-plant water network (IPWN) synthesis, where process units operate in mixed continuous and batch modes. The current developed model consists of a two-stage approach, and is dedicated to the special case where there are more continuous than batch units. In the first stage, all batch units are treated as continuous units by using auxiliary water storage tanks, and a continuously operated IPWN is synthesized to minimize the fresh water consumption. Subject to the determined IPWN flow rates, the water storage policy for the batch units is determined in the second stage to minimize the total storage capacity. Alternatively, the formulations of both stages can be combined and solved simultaneously to minimize the IPWN cost. Two modified literature examples are used to illustrate the proposed approach.     

基于截断器半连续操作的间歇过程性质集成

生产过程对水质的要求不仅体现于杂质浓度，还包括毒性、pH、化学需氧量等流股性质，因此仅以杂质浓度作为水源使用及废水排放依据进行用水过程设计无法满足生产要求，有必要在用水网络综合过程中考虑多种性质的同时集成。针对间歇过程性质集成问题，在考虑环境约束的基础上，以最小年度总费用为目标，建立了包含半连续操作性质截断器的用水网络超结构。其中，截断器在不同时间间隔内可以按不同操作速率运行；在截断器前后分别设置缓冲储罐以满足水源水阱的间歇操作要求，允许前置缓冲储罐中的水源不经过截断器直接回用至水阱。算例计算结果表明，本文方法可以有效降低年度总费用，同时减少截断器数量，验证了本文方法的有效性和优越性。
