Modeling and Reduction of Nox Production in Submerged Combustion Vaporizer Using Fuzzy Inference System

Submerged combustion vaporizers are one of the industrial equipments that produce a large amount of nitrogen oxides (NOx). These equipments are actually heat exchangers that are used in liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals to evaporate liquefied natural gas and convert it into gas. Since previous s...

description Submerged combustion vaporizers are one of the industrial equipments that produce a large amount of nitrogen oxides (NOx). These equipments are actually heat exchangers that are used in liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals to evaporate liquefied natural gas and convert it into gas. Since previous studies have shown that the operating conditions of this equipment are effective on the amount of NOx production in it, artificial intelligence tools were used in this research to model and then optimize NOx emission in this equipment. For this purpose, 63 laboratory data were extracted from the researchers' previous researches, and then a combination of adaptive neural fuzzy inference system and genetic algorithm was used to model the data. In the developed system, oxygen concentration, temperature, water-oxygen concentration and solution pH were considered as input parameters to the model and NOx reduction percentage as output. The statistical analysis of the built model showed that this model with correlation coefficient of 0.9714, mean square error of 1.0938, average absolute error percentage of 4.9713 and maximum absolute error percentage of 13.2144 has a good accuracy in estimating the amount of NOx reduction.  In the next step after the development of the model, the genetic algorithm and the built model were used to optimize the operating conditions with the lowest NOx emission rate. The results of this part of the research also showed that if the operating conditions are optimized, it is possible to reduce the amount of NOx released up to 37.24%
