1 Intensification Concepts for Gas-to-Liquids Processes Michael Baldea The University of Texas at Austin NSF Workshop on Process Intensification z=l z=0 QH Ti QR Tin TC A B Texit TH α TR Washington, DC, September 30-October 1, 2014
2 Distributed Natural Resources image source: Stranded gas: Small remote deposits that are too difficult and/or expensive to extract 7000 tcf worldwide image source: Associated gas: flared or reinjected 4.5 trillion megajoules wasted in 2011 Monetization: conversion to liquids, GTL technologies (Fischer- Tropsch, liquefaction): poor scale-down Develop new flexible processing capacity at small scales 2
3 Application: Small, Modular GTL Systems Specific challenges water management: scarce, location-dependent resource; steam needed/generated at multiple pressures hydrogen management: reforming product H 2 :CO ratio is not optimal for FT synthesis: separation or high recycling? process control Not a chemical integrated circuit
4 Robust Autothermal Microchannel Reactors Endothermic Reforming Exothermic Exothermic Endothermic Combustion Wall plate Reforming catalyst Combustion catalyst Blank section Endothermic Single integrated physical device has fewer control handles Millimeter thick channels make measurement and actuation difficult Match heat generation and consumption: offset catalyst layers Process intensification: difficult control 4
5 Temperature Control with Phase Change Material H>0 H<0 T T melt z Phase change layer absorbs heat at constant temperature when melting: Prevents temperature extremes caused by disturbances Pattison and Baldea, AIChE J., 2013 z 5
6 Segmented Combustion Catalyst Configuration Alternating catalytically active and inactive segments can emulate a distributed feed and modulate the rate of heat generation axially Formulate optimization to select: the optimal parametric temperature trajectory and the optimal catalyst segmentation to track the trajectory Pattison, Estep and Baldea, Ind. Eng. Chem. Res.,
7 Optimal Design Under Uncertainty ΔH>0 v =v (v,σ) ref ref ΔH<0 Geometry is fixed and must be determined at design stage Online adjustments are not possible Model-based optimal design under uncertainty Shape dynamic behavior via stochastic optimization of PCM thickness, catalyst geometry Usual approach: study a large number of scenarios Identification-based optimization (IBO): represent disturbances as multi-level random signals, impose on system model during dynamic optimization iterations 10 reduction in computation time Wang and Baldea, Comput. Chem. Eng.,
8 Cryogenic Liquefaction Process PRICO Process (mixed-refrigerant, cryogenic) Design challenges: PRICO is a trademark of Black & Veatch Pattison and Baldea, ESCAPE 24, 2014 Integration: refrigeration generated and trapped in the process Intensification: multi-stream heat exchanger (MHEX) 8
9 Simultaneous Flowsheet and Unit Optimization Optimization includes composition of refrigerant (N2 + C1-C4) Phase transitions in MHEX: highly nonlinear, discontinuous model Equation-oriented pseudo-transient model: improve basin of convergence of model equations Time-relaxation-based optimization PRICO is a trademark of Black & Veatch Pattison and Baldea, ESCAPE 24, 2014 Pattison and Baldea, AIChE J.,
10 PRICO Liquefaction Process Air separation applications Optimal T-H curves in MHEX ΔT min = 2 Tight heat integration (2 C approach) Pattison and Baldea, ESCAPE 24, 2014 Optimal process uses 5.7% less power than previous designs. Kamath et al., AIChE J.,

13 Context Process intensification (PI): Any chemical engineering development that leads to substantially smaller, cleaner, safer and more energy efficient technology (Reay et al., 2013) or that combine[s] multiple operations into fewer devices. (Tsouris and Joseph, 2003) Multum in parvo (Lat.) : much in little Paradigm Process should be governed by intrinsic rates Identify limiting factor(s) in a process (transport, transfer) Address them via changes in system operation (batch continuous), device geometry, external energy fields Scale-up by numbering-up 13

20 Conclusions Intensification fosters dynamic complexity - Better economics/improved efficiency: more difficult control - Scale independent Accomplishments - cool applications and commercial success Future - Theory: new process synthesis, simulation, optimization framework; will likely lead to new applications - Embed control considerations at the control stage - Applications: smarter manufacturing, interaction with power system 20
