Regular observation of such trends may indicate abnormal declines in performance or mis-operations.

As discussed above, the plant operational parameters may be compared with the performance process model results from the simulation engine based on the predetermined threshold values.

This may be accomplished by relating the performance to the plant operation through a cascade of more detailed screens, each of which may be designed to allow the user to quickly view what variables are causing the departure from the target performance.

  • a benefit of the method is its long-term sustainability. Often, projects to improve plant performance may achieve reasonable benefits for a modest duration, but these improvements decay over time. This decay is usually the result of inadequate time and expertise of available in-house technical personnel. Web-based optimization using the method may help operators bridge existing performance gaps and better leverage the expertise of their personnel in a way that may be sustained in the long term. [0069] Some plant operators have attempted to use locally installed process models to address the optimization needs of a refinery. While several such process model offerings exist in the marketplace, these tools lose value over time, as there are inadequate methods for keeping them tuned (e.g., modeling catalyst deactivation, temporary equipment limitations, and the like) and configured to take into account plant flow scheme and equipment modifications. In this configuration, over time, the investment made in acquiring such models does not deliver the intended value. Additionally, the cost associated with performing the model maintenance function may be relatively large and the expertise difficult to maintain or replace. The web- enabled platform specifically addresses these shortcomings by remotely hosting and maintaining the models.
  • implementation of the web-based method of the present tuning system 10 may deliver tangible benefits that address the customer's managerial challenges. Such a service may aid in improving training and development of technical personnel, automation of business processes, and/or development of operational excellence. Training of new engineers and operators may be simplified, as there is a central repository of knowledge about the individual process units. Furthermore, engineers may more easily be rotated among several process units to give them broader experience. This rotation may be done with the assurance that consistency of knowledge is transferred by highly repeatable remote performance monitoring processes and by professionals interacting with skilled technical services personnel.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une raffinerie ou une usine pétrochimique pouvant comprendre une colonne de fractionnement et un équipement associé, tel qu'un ou plusieurs condenseurs, récepteurs, rebouilleurs, échangeurs d'alimentation et pompes. L'équipement peut avoir des limites ou des seuils de paramètres de fonctionnement sur la base de limites existantes et/ou de conditions de fonctionnement existantes. Des limites existantes illustratives peuvent comprendre des pressions mécaniques, des limites de température, des limites de pression hydraulique et des durées de fonctionnement de divers composants. Il peut également exister des relations entre des paramètres opérationnels associés à des processus particuliers. Par exemple, les limites sur une température d'entrée de réacteur de reformage de naphta peuvent dépendre d'une capacité de régénérateur et d'un rapport hydrogène sur hydrocarbure, qui à son tour peut dépendre d'une capacité de compresseur de recyclage. Des paramètres opérationnels d'un produit final peuvent être déterminés sur la base d'un courant réel ou d'une opération historique, et mis en œuvre dans un ou plusieurs modèles pour déterminer des ajustements pour une efficacité opérationnelle améliorée.
