The liquefaction of natural gas in a mixed refrigerant system demands a high use of energy, typically accounting for 30 percent of the total energy used to process natural gas. Mohd Shariq Khan, a student atYeungnam Universityin Gyeongsan, South Korea, has optimized the single mixed refrigerant (SMR) natural gas liquefaction process, achieving an energy savings of 10 percent.
汗用霍尼韦尔Unisim设计软件优化了这个过程，并赢得了霍尼韦尔的年度亚太地区学生竞赛。汗上周在2013年霍尼韦尔用户集团（拥抱）亚太地区研讨会上展示了他的胜利设计，澳大利亚珀斯亚太区。
“For operators in the process manufacturing industry, small improvements in energy efficiency can lead to significant cost savings,” said Tony Cosgrove, vice president of sales,霍尼韦尔流程解决方案。“Mohd’s project demonstrates the value of process optimization for industrial manufacturers and the importance of fresh thinking and innovation to solve business challenges. We’re pleased to recognize his outstanding work as part of this year’s annual APAC HUG conference.”
影响SMR工艺性能的最重要因素是制冷剂的组成和流量，抽吸和蒸发压力以及制冷剂蒸发的程度，根据写作的纸张亚太化工杂志。调整一个变量由于其高度非线性相互作用而影响另一个变量，使工厂模拟器仪器在优化过程中。
Khan and his university lecturer Professor Moonyong Lee presented the project at this year’s APAC HUG. “This competition gives chemical manufacturing students the opportunity to apply the knowledge they have gained through their studies to solve real-world, critical business challenges in industrial manufacturing,” Lee said. “Combined with the opportunity to present the winning project to industry leaders across the region, it demonstrates the commitment of organizations like Honeywell to developing the next generation of process engineers.”
今年，纪录103所大学有资格代表学生进入。除亚太地区外，霍尼韦尔还将年度学生竞赛持有欧洲，中东和非洲（EMEA）和美洲地区拥抱会议的一部分。
