Optimizing
A Flash Column
A customer has a pressurized liquid that
contains dissolved gases. They
separate the gas from the liquid using a heated tower, leaving in just
the right amount of gas. The feed is fixed, but the air and fuel
to the heater is varied as well as the recycle rate to achieve the
desired quality.Objective
Determine the optimal air and fuel flows to the heater and recycle
rate under specified
operating conditions to achieve 12% gas in the product coming out of
the bottom of the tower.
Results
The % gas can be targeted to over 99.999% accuracy.
