1 Dynamics of forced and unsteady-state processes Davide Manca Lesson 3 of Dynamics and Control of Chemical Processes Master Degree in Chemical Engineering Davide Manca Dynamics and Control of Chemical Processes Master Degree in ChemEng Politecnico di Milano L3 1

2 Forced unsteady-state reactors Forced unsteady state (FUS) reactors allow reaching higher conversions than conventional reactors. Two alternatives: Reverse flow reactors, RFR; Network of reactors: simulated moving bed reactors, SMBR. Within a SMBR network, the simulated moving bed is accomplished by periodically switching the feed inlet from one reactor to the following one. APPLICATION: Methanol synthesis (ICI patent). Operating temperature: C; Pressure: 5-8 MPa; CO = 10-20%; CO 2 = 6-10%; H 2 = 70-80%. Davide Manca Dynamics and Control of Chemical Processes Master Degree in ChemEng Politecnico di Milano L3 2

3 Forced unsteady-state reactors Catalytic exothermic reactions can be carried out with an autothermal regime. FUS reactors are mainly advantageous when either the reactants concentration or the reactions exothermicity are low. There is an increase of both conversion and productivity that allows: Using smaller reactors, Lower amounts of catalyst. Davide Manca Dynamics and Control of Chemical Processes Master Degree in ChemEng Politecnico di Milano L3 3

4 Methanol synthesis in forced unsteady-state reactors The methanol synthesis reaction is: CO 2H2 CH3OH H R kj/mol The reaction takes place with a reduction of the moles number. Therefore, the reaction is carried out at high pressure. In the past, the methanol plants worked at bar. Nowadays, methanol plants work at lower pressures (50 80 bar). In the low-pressure plants, the following reactions are important too: CO H CO H O CO 3H CH OH H O Davide Manca Dynamics and Control of Chemical Processes Master Degree in ChemEng Politecnico di Milano L3 4

5 Reverse Flow Reactors Valves: V 1, V 2, V 3, V 4 allow periodically inverting the feed direction in the reactor. Davide Manca Dynamics and Control of Chemical Processes Master Degree in ChemEng Politecnico di Milano L3 5

20 The control problem FEATURES The system may suddenly diverge to unstable operating conditions (even chaotic behavior); The network may shut-down; The reactors may work in a suboptimal region. PROBLEM The reactor network should work within an optimal operating range; Such a range is often narrow and its identification may be difficult. SOLUTION A suitable control system must be synthesized and implemented on-line to avoid both shut-down and chaotic behaviors; An advanced control system is highly recommended; Model based control Model Predictive Control, MPC. Davide Manca Dynamics and Control of Chemical Processes Master Degree in ChemEng Politecnico di Milano L3 20

21 Numerical modeling The model based approach to the control problem calls for the implementation of a numerical model of the network that will be used for: 1. Identification of the optimal operating conditions; 2. Control purposes, i.e. to predict the future behavior of the system. The numerical model is based on a first principles approach: The reactors are continuously evolving (they never reach a steady-state condition) time derivative; Each PFR reactor must be described spatially spatial derivative; The reacting system is catalyzed (therefore it is heterogeneous). Consequently, an algebraic term is required PDAE system. The PDAE system is spatially discretized DAE system. A total of 1067 differential and algebraic equations must be solved to determine the dynamic evolution of the network.

33 Need for speed THE POINT: to simulate 100 switches of the inlet flow with a switch time of 40 s (total of 4,000 s) the DAE system, comprising 1067 equations, takes about 95 s of CPU time on a workstation computer. PROBLEM: the detailed first principles model requires a CPU time that is prohibitive for model based control purposes. SOLUTION A high efficiency numerical model in terms of CPU time is therefore required; Such a model should be able to describe the nonlinearities and the articulate profiles of the network of reactors; Artificial Neural Networks, ANN, may be the answer.
