Genetic Algorithm-Based Optimization of Steam Consumption of Dryer Section in Paper Machine

Abstract:

In paper dryer section of the paper machine, paper dehydration is small, but the steam consumption for the process of dehydration is very large, this steam consumption has a great influence to the total steam consumption of the whole papermaking process. A method optimization of the dryer section based on genetic algorithm is proposed to reduce the dryer section steam consumption, which can reduce the total steam consumption of the papermaking process. After analyzing steam consumption of the whole drying process, the result is that the temperature of dryer section air is the key factor that influences the steam consumption. The model of paper machine dryer section is build with supply air temperature as a variable and steam consumption as the objective function, then using the genetic algorithm to optimize the supply air temperature. Simulation results show that after optimizing air temperature by genetic algorithm steam consumption of papermaking process is further reduced.
