Maximum gain rule Hamiltonian Loss: A second-order approximation yields:
P2P Gains – Simple • Look at step responses for the time-scale that is relevant for economic control:
Lean absorbent L Purified gas yCO2 ≤ 0.005 Column TC Sour gas feed Power plant Rich absorbent, LN 0.02 ≤yCO2 ≤ 0.06 CaCO3 (s), H2O, Ca(OH)2 (aq) PFD
Modeling VLE described by Henry’s law for CO2/water system: Reaction in water phase: Assumed first-order kinetics:
Modeling Variable definitions
Optimal steady-state operation Minimize absorbent usage while maintaining y ≤ 0.5% (active)
Optimal transition paths • Objectives: minimum time and limited absorbent usage • Constraint y < 0.5% at all times • This constraint is active for the transition phase • Constraint not measureable • Can measure dissolved CO2, but threshold on x = 5 ppm
Can we use ratio control to limit the span of the CV? • Approximate span propagation by linearization
