Optimization of circulation water cooling process in forced-draft towers

Chemistry and Technology of Fuels and Oils Aims and scope

A mathematical model of circulation water cooling process in a group of forced-draft towers is proposed. The problem of optimization of this process is solved. A program package has been developed, which allows calculation of the optimum rate of water flow into each tower and the optimum number of rotations of each blower. The proposed model has been used to build a standard automated circulation-water cooling process control system.
