Title: Optimization design of distillation process based on process simulator and line-up competition algorithm
Abstract: An optimal method for distillation process design was proposed based on the process simulator and the line-up competition algorithm(LCA).Taking the minimal total cost as the objective function,a non-convex mixed-integer nonlinear programming model for the optimization design of distillation process was set up,in which the distillation sequence and heat integration were considered.The simulation of distillation process and the optimal search by LCA were alternately implemented until the optimal solution was acquired.The method proposed was applied to the optimal design of separating 1-butylene from C4 mixture.The optimal distillation sequence and heat integration process structure as well as the optimal design and the operating parameters of each column were obtained.
