Automation of Calculations of Optimal Disposition of Devices of a Material Balance System

详细

Automation of calculations in the design of optimal disposition of devices that track the movement of hydrocarbons in oil refining, petrochemical, and gas processing plants is considered. A conception of automation with the use of information systems that include visualization of the flow patterns and construction of a material balance model together with a package of symbolic calculations is developed. The basic functions of the information system used to calculate the minimum number of devices and their location as well as determine multi-measuring points for additional accounting meters are provided. Results of practical application of the solutions for an oil refinery are given.
