Using Frequency Converters in Automatic Process Control Systems of Crude Oil Distillation Plants
One of the most important tasks in oil refinery management is cost reduction, particularly the technological component of processing costs. Power comsumption in oil refinery management is large. Application of frequency converters (ac drives) is one way to achieve this goal because the advantage of applying frequency inverters (Variable frequency drives) is for energy conservation.
Application of frequency converters helped to significantly improve the quality of air cooler control by means of regulation of the fan rotation speed by eliminating negative factors which affected the operation of air coolers due to ambient temperature fluctuations. The dynamics of air cooler power consumption has also changed.
Using frequency converters in automatic process control of crude oil distillation plants only only reduces power consumped, but also help to build a green earth.
