System Approach Modelling Applied to the Eluxyl Process

چکیده
System Approach Modelling Applied to the Eluxyl Process — The Eluxyl process achieves paraxylene separation to other xylenes and ethylbenzene. Eluxyl is a simulated moving bed process that requires a fine tuning to produce paraxylene at a very high level of purity, up to 99.90%. A numerical model has been developed in parallel with the process. Objectives are to help tuning, to help design of additional equipment such as valves and mixing chambers and to test the so-called “what if cases”. According to these objectives, the model is planned to be modified many times in order to test different equipment, to evaluate “what if cases” or even to choose among different configurations. To match these requirements the numerical model has been developed under system approach. Oil & Gas Science and Technology – Rev. IFP, Vol. 55 (2000), No. 4

Production Constraints Modelling: A Tactical Review Approach
A constraint is a limitation or a restriction that poses a threat to the performance and efficiency of a system. This paper presented a tactical review approach to production constraints modeling. It discussed the theory of constraints (TOC) as a thinking process and continuous improvement strategy to curtail constraints in other to constantly increase the performance and efficiency of a system...
متن کاملModelling and Decision-making on Deteriorating Production Systems using Stochastic Dynamic Programming Approach
This study aimed at presenting a method for formulating optimal production, repair and replacement policies. The system was based on the production rate of defective parts and machine repairs and then was set up to optimize maintenance activities and related costs. The machine is either repaired or replaced. The machine is changed completely in the replacement process, but the productio...
متن کاملRainfall-runoff modelling using artificial neural networks (ANNs): modelling and understanding
In recent years, artificial neural networks (ANNs) have become one of the most promising tools in order to model complex hydrological processes such as the rainfall-runoff process. In many studies, ANNs have demonstrated superior results compared to alternative methods. ANNs are able to map underlying relationship between input and output data without prior understanding of the process under in...
متن کاملA Robust Feedforward Active Noise Control System with a Variable Step-Size FxLMS Algorithm: Designing a New Online Secondary Path Modelling Method
Several approaches have been introduced in literature for active noise control (ANC)systems. Since Filtered-x-Least Mean Square (FxLMS) algorithm appears to be the best choice as acontroller filter. Researchers tend to improve performance of ANC systems by enhancing andmodifying this algorithm. This paper proposes a new version of FxLMS algorithm. In many ANCapplications an online secondary pat...
