Artificial Intelligence for Inferential Control of Crude Oil Stripping Process
Authors
Abstract:
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 not a proper option for a multi-component stripping column because the tray temperature does not correspond exactly to the product composition. To overcome this problem, secondary measurements can be used to infer the product quality and adjust the values of the manipulated variables. In this paper, we have used a novel inferential control approach base on adaptive network fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) for stripping process. ANFIS with different learning algorithms is used for modeling the process and building a composition estimator to estimate the composition of the bottom product. The developed estimator is tested, and the results show that the predictions made by ANFIS structure are in good agreement with the results of simulation by ASPEN HYSYS process simulation package. In addition, inferential control by the implementation of ANFIS-based online composition estimator in a cascade control scheme is superior to traditional tray temperature control method based on less integral time absolute error and low duty consumption in reboiler.

Building inferential estimators for modeling product quality in a crude oil desalting and dehydration process
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 proc...

Complex processes involve many process variables, and operators faced with the tasks of monitoring, control, and diagnosis of these processes often find it difficult to effectively monitor the process data, analyse current states, detect and diagnose process anomalies, or take appropriate actions to control the processes. The complexity can be rendered more manageable provided important underly...

Modern research and commercial aquaculture operations have begun to adopt new technologies, including computer control systems. Aquaculturists realize that by controlling the environmental conditions and system inputs (e.g. water, oxygen, temperature, feed rate and stocking density), physiological rates of cultured species and final process outputs (e.g. ammonia, pH and growth) can be regulated...
full textI PROCESS CONSIDERATIONS IN CRUDE OIL BIODESULFURlZATION
Biodesulfurization offers an attractive alternative to conventional hydrodesulfurization due to the mild operating conditions and reaction specificity afforded by the biocatalyst. The enzymatic pathway existing in Rhodococnrs has been demonstrated to oxidatively desulfurize the organic sulfur occurring in dibenzothiophene while leaving the hydrocarbon intact. In order for biodesulfurization to ...
