Among them, gas turbines and condensing steam turbines are co-produced by Dongfang Electric Group and Mitsubishi Corporation, and waste heat boilers are produced by Hangzhou Boiler Works.

2.1 Control System and Communication Network The power plant control system mainly includes the DCS, the control system provided by the random island main equipment and the auxiliary equipment control equipment of the thermal power system. DCS uses the products of the Ovation system from EMERSON, USA. The island's control system uses Japan's Mitsubishi's DIASYS products.

2.1.1 DCS

The combined cycle unit and its auxiliary systems are all unit systems. Each unit uses one set of DCS. It is mainly used for monitoring and control of the waste heat boiler and its auxiliary systems, thermal systems, and plant power supplies, and is also compatible with the gas turbine control system. The two-way redundant communication is carried out. The operating personnel can realize centralized monitoring and control of the entire combined cycle unit through the man-machine interface of the DCS in the centralized control room.

The basic settings of DCS are: unit unit DCS + public DCS network, the monitoring of the public system can be completed at the unit unit operator station, and the operation of the 3 unit unit operator station to the public system is safety blocked, and the 3 unit unit operators station are All screens of the public network can be displayed, but only one unit crew operator station can control the public system at the same time.

The DCS communication network is divided into two layers: the unit process monitoring level and I/O level. The unit process control level is a Fast Ethernet communication network with a communication rate of 1 OOMb/s. This network is mainly used for communication of DCS control stations, operator stations, printers, and other equipment, and is connected to the entire plant SIS network. The I/O level network is a PCI bus distributed in various process control stations with a communication rate of lOMb/s. This level of network bears all I/O modules in the same station.

Control system and communication network New 2×39OMW gas-steam combined cycle unit, in which the island equipment (gas generators, turbines, generators and their auxiliary systems) adopts the single shaft gas provided by the Shanghai Electric Group-Germany Siemens consortium. - Steam combined cycle unit, waste heat boiler adopts unburned horizontal natural circulation boiler produced by Wuhan Boiler Co., Ltd.

3.1 Control System and Communication Network The power station control system is mainly composed of two parts: DCS and TCS. All of them adopt the TelepermXP system manufactured by Germany's Siemens AG and integrated design.

3.1.1 Distributed Control System DCS is embedded in the TelepermXP system and has the following subsystems: (1) The analog adjustment system (MCS), which mainly completes the coordinated control of the unit and the regulation control of the waste heat boiler, high pressure bypass, etc.; (2) sequential control The system (SCS) mainly completes the sequential control of the unit level (APS, Siemens called SGCUNlTCOORDlNAT5lON), the sequential control of the waste heat boiler and the BOP system; (3) the waste heat boiler protection system; (4) the data acquisition system (DAS) to complete the monitoring Control and data collection and management; (5) Electrical quantity control (ECS, G&A), mainly to complete the monitoring of the electrical quantity of the power generation and transformation unit and the monitoring of the power system and the utility power system of the unit.

The air compressors and natural gas pressure control stations of public systems are integrated into the DCS control system and are connected to the public system DCS. The chemical water treatment and auxiliary boilers are connected to the public system DCS by means of communication.

3.1.2 Gas Turbine Control System The gas turbine control system TCS (TelepermXP) is supplied by the main equipment manufacturers and integrated with the DCS (TelepermXP) system. It is located in the unit network.

The gas turbine can be divided into a main control system and a protection system functionally, and the two are inseparable overall. In normal operation, the main control system runs according to the program parameters required by the gas turbine generator set. When a fault occurs, the protection system sends out an alarm signal to remind the operator to eliminate the fault and return to the safe operation state; when there is a major fault, the protection system Interrupt the gas turbine to ensure the safety of the unit. The AP automatic processor in the main control system mainly collects various parameters such as temperature, pressure, vibration, etc., starts and stops the gas turbine program, gas, natural gas, frequency control, boiler purging, and generator body data acquisition. Functions such as control and control; APT in the main control system mainly performs combustion engine exhaust temperature control, start control, fuel control, load limit control, overspeed control, compressor inlet pressure limitation, and the like. Each system outputs a fuel supply reference based on different operating phases. These fuel supply references make a minimum selection and the minimum value serves as an execution command signal. At the same time, only the smallest fuel reference is in effect. By changing the fuel reference, the speed and load of the unit are controlled. By changing the compressor inlet steerable leaves, controlling the turbine exhaust temperature and preventing surge. The protection system is divided into two parts, the conventional part is completed by the AS620 (including the trip signal from the APT through the network), and the fast part is completed by the AG95F (signal and processor are redundant structures), in which the trip signal in the AS620B is output to In the AG95F system, the AG95F system outputs the total trip signal and completes the emergency shutdown of the unit. The signal transmission between AS620B and AG95F is done through the network.

The control range of the steam turbine is: steam turbine body, clutch, turbine auxiliary system. The turbine auxiliary systems included in the TCS control are: (l) Turbine Control Oil System; (2) Lubricating Oil System (Common Fuel Supply System for Gas Turbines and Generators); (3) Steam Seal System, Door Rod Leakage System; ( 4) Condenser system; (5) Turbine seal water system; (6) Vacuum system (7) Bypass system.

The design of the unit automation system has a high starting point. To meet the requirement of two-shift operation of gas-fired power plants and meet the requirements of quick start and stop of the unit, the unit-level sequential start/stop function is designed to achieve one-button operation.

Teleoperation of the TelepermXP system uses a client/server structure. The unit sets redundant data server (PU) pairs. The operator station exchanges data with the controller through the server (PU). The engineer station can access the server. Can directly access the control station. The system uses a three-level network connection; (1) The monitoring operation-level network (TerminalBus) adopts a CSMA/CD-based Ethernet OOMbs/s virtual ring network, which is connected to the server through the process control level network, through the OfficeLan and external systems on the OPC server. (SIS) connected. (2) The process control level network PlantBus) adopts a 1OMbs/s virtual ring network, and is connected to the main control unit (APT/AP) in a node manner. (3) Fieldbus layers (FBUs) use 1.5 Mbs/s Profibus DP field bus to connect to I/O modules.

1# unit unit DCS, 2# unit unit DCS and public DCS have their own independent ring networks. The common system ring network is connected to the 1# and 2# unit unit networks through the network interface (Link).

The complete set of control software for the unit is used by a combination of child software. The upper monitoring system uses the monitor software of TelepermXP system 0M650 to perform integrated monitoring of the entire unit. The engineer station uses TelepermXPES680 engineering tool software, the lower control DCS, gas turbine and turbine auxiliary system, uses the TelepermXPAP620 function control software, the gas turbine and the turbine body use DigitalControlSystemSIMADYND function control software, DCS and TCS communicate through the process control level network (PlantBus).

3.1.3 Backup Hard-wired Operation Backup hard-wired operations of the central control room master console include: total plant fuel tripping, gas turbine emergency tripping, steam turbine emergency tripping, generator-transformer tripping, lubricating oil pump startup, and generator de-magnetizing switch Trip.

3.2 The main characteristic of the control system The integrated design of DCS and TCS, TelepermXP is based on the structure of Profibus DP field bus, DCS is further decentralized.

According to different functions, the closed-loop control, open-loop control and protection operation of the unit set up three subsystems, SimadynD, S5-95F, AP.

3.3 Configuration and Configuration of Control Equipment The configuration diagram of the control system of the combined cycle unit of Zhengzhou Gas-fired Power Plant is shown in Figure 3.
IV. Recommendation 4.1 Adoption of remote I/O has matured Based on the experience accumulated by DCS in the application of large-scale thermal power units in China over the past 10 years and the continuous improvement of DCS system performance, the opportunity for the adoption of remote I/O in China's gas-fired power plants has become increasingly mature. The thermal power boilers and auxiliary systems of Wangting gas-fired power plant and gas-fired power plant in the eastern part are all designed to use remote I/Os to divide and divide the processing units and to achieve dispersion of control functions and physical dispersion. Successful experience. Therefore, it is necessary to promote domestic combined cycle units according to functional groups or process system requirements.

4.2 Self-starting and stopping function of the unit needs to be tested in practice There are still different views on setting up the self-starting and stopping system for gas-steam combined cycle units in gas-fired power plants. It is not difficult to design the unit to start and stop the system, but there are many problems that need to be studied in order for the system to function properly. In particular, the controllability of the main and auxiliary engines of the combined cycle unit has yet to be solved. The 2×3OOMW combined cycle unit of Wangting Power Plant, the 3×35OWM combined cycle unit of Shenzhen East Gas Power Plant, and the 1×35OMW combined cycle unit of Beijing No. 3 Thermal Power Plant all have a self-starting and stopping system, but there is no commissioning or Not officially activated. Since the start-stop of the unit belongs to the coordinated control range of the power plant, it issues commands to command the relevant systems (or functional groups) of the local automatic control level, and the related systems have been set on the LCD screen of the DCS operation station. According to the help screens with detailed display and operation methods, the operating personnel can grasp the working conditions of these functional groups at any time and issue command instructions to them in a timely manner. In order to put the unit into production as soon as possible, there is currently no serious inspection of the unit's self-start/stop function. Therefore, whether the specific project is set to start and stop the unit should be combined with the actual situation to determine.

An Food And Beverage Filter Press is a tool used in separation processes, specifically to separate solids and liquids. The process uses the principle of pressure drive,[clarification needed] as provided by a slurry pump. Among other uses, filter presses are utilized in marble factories in order to separate water from mud in order to reuse the water during the marble cutting process.

Concept Food And Beverage Filter Press Technology


Generally, the slurry that will be separated is injected into the center of the press and each chamber of the press is filled.[1] Optimal filling time will ensure the last chamber of the press is loaded before the mud in the first chamber begins to cake. As the chambers fill, pressure inside the system will increase due to the formation of thick sludge.[2] Then, the liquid is strained through filter cloths by force using pressurized air, but the use of water could be more cost-efficient in certain cases, such as if water was re-used from a previous process.

History


The first form of filter press was invented in the United Kingdom in 1853, used in obtaining seed oil through the use of pressure cells. However, there were many disadvantages associated with them, such as high labour requirement and discontinuous process. Major developments in filter press technology started in the middle of 20th century. In Japan in 1958, Kenichiro Kurita and Seiichi Suwa succeeded in developing the world's first automatic horizontal-type filter press to improve the cake removal efficiency and moisture absorption. Nine years later, Kurita Company began developing flexible diaphragms to decrease moisture in filter cakes. The device enables optimisation of the automatic filtration cycle, cake compression, cake discharge and filter-cloth washing leading to the increment in opportunities for various industrial applications.
