Outline
Baking plant flue gas purification device is located at the end, including flue gas cooling subsystem, the subsystem dust bag, aluminium vacuum material handling subsystem and control subsystem. In the realization of the anode baking gas cooling, purification and discharge at the same time, but also for anode baking system provides a stable negative pressure, to ensure the normal operation of the anode baking.
Flue gas cleaning system, automatic control system is to purify the production monitoring and control of the integrated control system for flue gas emissions in the process of flue gas temperature , pressure, flow and other data to monitor, control, Carbon Factory anode baking system plays a crucial important role,
Process Description
Come from the baking plant flue gas first enters the spray tower, atomized water spray tower through the flue gas is cooled, if the flue gas temperature is low, spray cooling tower without treatment, only the spray tower outlet flue gas temperature is high the set value, the atomized spray tower was cooled, when the flue gas temperature is below the set value, stop the spray.
The cooled flue gas into the venturi reactor, the reaction with alumina, in the flue gas tar, asphalt particles adhered on the alumina powder. Alumina powder by a feed motor from the disk added to the hopper feed pipe, transported by the flow of the fan into the venturi reactor.
After the reactor is fed into the gas bag filter, bag filter consists of two, each precipitator dust from the 12 chambers. Alumina powder is collected by bag filter and after into the return duct returned into the back bunker by the lift fan. Cleaning Blowback control has three operating modes: manual, timing, and differential pressure.
Baking plant required for normal production of negative pressure, purification system was cited by the wind turbines, the negative pressure is adjusted by adjusting the fan inlet valve opening businesses to achieve.

四. Project Background of RMPOS
Plant is a complex system, may occur at any unit load changes and other confounding factors, it is difficult to rely on artificial continuous operation will be in the best state of the control unit, which is the most typical boiler combustion control. Fuel cost is the main cost of power generation , power plant flue gas emissions is the main source of pollution , and how skillfully continuously adjust the amount of wind , bellows and furnace pressure and other variables , and always will be the best run state boiler control , which for the operating personnel technical level and workload requirements are very high . In fact , DCS system, there are thousands of data points , in part to participate in the control , in part for operating personnel to monitor the operational status of the unit , their role does not really play out. Boiler efficiency is a complex curved surface, the impact of many factors, and these factors are subject to change, by operating personnel continuously looking for the highest point of the surface is impossible, even if the operating personnel know the highest point, asking him to simultaneously adjust many parameters, which is unrealistic, with the help of RMPOS optimization control system, you can easily do it.

RMPOS as a secondary control system, in addition to the necessary data communication, no need to add new hardware. RMPOS from DCS control system parameters in real time, through the analysis and optimization, obtained set-point or control deviation of control parameters affecting thermal efficiency of the boiler, and recommended valuesfor these parameters in an open loop or closed loop back to the DCS. Parameter returns once every 15 seconds, fully meet the control requirements of real-time dynamic scene. In addition, in order to ensure safety in production, the system also has the data validation feature, if there is deviation from the normal input parameters, the system will automatically exit, and gives alarm.
