Application of artificial neural network in optimization of rectisol process

The modified back-propagation artificial neural network (ANN) istrained by the training sample sets given by orthogonal experiment to get the input parameters and the rectisol process simulator (RPS) based on exact mathematical models is used to obtain the output parameters. The training results show that ANN is succ essful in simulating the rectisol process and can be used as ″black box″ model to replace the rigorous RPS models. Complex algorithm is used to optimize the critical process conditions of rectisol system, which uses the trained ANN as am athematical model, so that the optimization problem is greatly simplified and the computational time decreases significantly. The optimization results show that the product quantity of CO2 is increased and the load of refrigerated ammonia is reduced. These results can be used to guide the operation of ammonia plant. The practical problems such as the optimization of operation conditions of large and complicated systems can be solved by the strategy described in this paper.
