Development of an automated control system for the reactor of motor oil production

Background: Compliance to modern requirements to quality of motor oil to depends largely on level of automation of industrial process of their preparation. Existing and really functioning refinery processing units provide constancy of the target numerical index of the viscosity of oil only when the mix formulation of production is strictly observed. In mix formulation, the flow parameters of the base oil and additives are determined, the temperature in the reactor and the preparation time also exerts impact the technological process. Refinery processing units of production of motor oil of the type in question don't provide possible changes of flowrate of components in the reactor, which leads to a viscosity factor deviation from the desired one. Stringent control of technological process of production of motor oil provides: high stability of a product, good torque properties at low temperatures, necessary viscosity within working temperatures. Materials and methods: The system analysis of the technological process is carried out on the basis of the experimental data of operation of the unit for obtaining motor oil...
