스팀 절감량 예측을 위한 흑액 다중 효용 증발 공정 모델 개발
Development of Black Liquor Multiple-effect-evaporation Process Model to Predict Steam Savings
본 연구에서는 흑액 증발공정에 소비되는 스팀의 절감량을 예측하기 위해 증발기 수에 따른 다중 효용 증발공정 모델을 개발하였다. 개발한 공정 모델은 흑액의 예열 및 증발 과정으로 구성되어 있고, 스팀 사용량을 예측하기 위해 가상의 재비기가 추가되었다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 2중 효용 증발기에서 스팀 사용량은 48.9% 감소하였고, 증발기 수가 증가함에 따라 스팀 사용량이 감소하여 8중 효용 증발기에서 최대 76.5% 감소함을 확인하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과를 증발기 수에 따른 포화증기의 잠열 회수량, 스팀 사용량, 각 증발기의 포화증기 생산량으로 분석하여 최적의 증발기 수 도출을 위한 방안을 제시하였다.
This study developed the black liquor evaporation process models using the multiple-effect-evaporator according to the number of effects to predict steam consumption. The developed models were divided into the black liquor preheating and evaporation processes, and a virtual reboiler was added to predict steam consumption. In simulation results, the steam consumption in the double-effect-evaporator was decreased by 48.9 %, and as the number of effects increased, the steam consumption was decreased. Finally, the steam consumption in the octuple-effectevaporator was decreased by 61.2 %. Also, this study suggests a strategy for deriving the optimal number of effects in the process by analyzing the latent heat recovered from the saturated vapor produced in the multiple-effect-evaporator and the amount of saturated vapor produced by each effect.
