Implementation of Mpc on a Deethanizer at Kårstø Gas Plant
نویسندگان
چکیده
Model predictive control (MPC) is implemented on several distillation columns at the Kårstø gas processing plant, Norway. The paper describes the procedure in the implementation of MPC at a deethanizer using the SEPTIC ∗ MPC tool, including design, estimator development, model development and tuning. For the deethanizer, the variance in the product quality has been reduced with about 50%. The number of flaring episodes has also been reduced. An increase in impurities has not been challenged yet, so the average reflux flow and steam consumption to feed ratios are almost unaltered.

Design and Practical Implementation of a New Markov Model Predictive Controller for Variable Communication Packet Loss in Network Control Systems
The current paper investigates the influence of packet losses in network control systems (NCS’s) using the model predictive control (MPC) strategy. The study focuses on two main network packet losses due to sensor to controller and controller to actuator along the communication paths. A new Markov-based method is employed to recursively estimate the probability of time delay in controller to ac...
متن کاملIndustrial Implementation of a Coordinator MPC for Maximizing Throughput at a Large-Scale Gas Plant
An industrial implementation of a coordinator MPC to maximize throughput at the large-scale K̊arstø gas plant is described. The “coordinator MPC” coordinates the flows through the network and not the local MPCs. It uses as degrees of freedom (MVs) the flows not used by the local MPCs (feeds, crossovers), and maximizes the throughput subject to the keeping the remaining capacities in all units ze...
متن کاملSunflower morphology and yield as affected by foliar applications of plant growth regulators
Plant height of sunflower is a major agronomic trait affecting crop performance in the field and its adaptation to mechanical harvest. Field experiments were conducted to study the effect of foliar application of paclobutrazol (PBZ) at 12.5 g ai/ha, mepiquat chloride (MPC) at 25.0 g ai/ha and chlormequat chloride (CCC) at 1,500 g ai/ha in single or double applications on sunflower plant mor...
متن کامل409g Implementation of Coordinator Mpc on a Large-Scale Gas Plant
In many cases economic optimal operation is the same as maximum plant throughput. This corresponds to maximum flow through the bottleneck(s). This insight may greatly simplify implementation and a real-time optimization (RTO) based on a nonlinear model is not necessary. The key issue is to identify the active "bottleneck" constraint and a coordinator MPC based on a linear model with constraints...

In many cases economic optimal operation is the same as maximum plant throughput, which is the same as maximum flow through the bottleneck(s). This insight may greatly simplify implementation. In this paper, we consider the case where the bottlenecks may move, with parallel flows that give rise to multiple bottlenecks and with crossover flows as extra degrees of freedom. With the assumption tha...
