The Design of a Dynamic Simulation System of a Liquid Chemical Filling Process

The flow sheet and operation principle of a liquid fIlling process was briefly discussed, and the dynamic simulation mathematic models of the fIlling process were developed in detail using the mass balance equations, gas state equations and historical process data. Based on the intelligent process control (IPC) simulation mode, the overall structure and the development scheme of the filling process simulation system was designed. A dynamic simulation system of the fIlling process was successfully developed, by taking a typical SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) configuration software named Century Star as GUI (graphical user interface) development platform, and integrating with a DLL (dynamic link library) function program to perform the calculation of the simulation models programmed using Visual C++. The development of the simulation GUI included the design and Command Language programming of simulated process flow sheet diagrams, simulation command buttons and their displaying diagrams, and the operation and parameters adjustment diagrams of all kinds of manipulators in the process flow sheets. The overall simulation operation of the filling process was fairly good achieved. Then some comprehensive and systematic simulation tests of the filling process were carried out. The simulation results show that the simulation system could satisfy the fIlling process research and design requirements very well, and the main process operation parameters were optimized through these simulation tests.
