Building inferential estimators for modeling product quality in a crude oil desalting and dehydration process
نویسندگان
چکیده
Desalting/dehydration plants (DDP) are often installed in crude oil production units in order to remove water-soluble salts from an oil stream. This paper describes the development of simple inferential estimators for product quality of the desalting/dehydration process. The inferential estimators were constructed to capture the relationship between the product quality of the plant and the process input variables. Five input process v a i w i t c p o a ©

Artificial Intelligence for Inferential Control of Crude Oil Stripping Process
Stripper columns are used for sweetening crude oil, and they must hold product hydrogen sulfide content as near the set points as possible in the faces of upsets. Since product quality cannot be measured easily and economically online, the control of product quality is often achieved by maintaining a suitable tray temperature near its set point. Tray temperature control method, however, is n...
متن کاملCrude Oil Desalting by Using Nanocarbon
In the process of crude oil desalination, the aim is to separate dispersed phase of brine from oil phase. The project aim is the use of carbon nano-adsorbent for remov-al of salt from crude oil that, unlike other methods of salt separation from crude oil currently used, is a simple, inexpensive method with good ability to remove salt from crude oil. In this study, first, four types of carbon ad...

ABSTRACT: In this study, response surface methodology was used to optimize ultrasound osmotic pretreatment with finished freeze drying of black cherries. Freeze drying is a separation process based on the sublimation phenomenon. This process has the following advantages as compared to the conventional drying process, maintenance of the structure, moisture removal at low temperature (reduced tr...
