摘要

Predictably, achievement of maximum profitability is a major goal for modern coal preparation plant operators. It can be realized through the maximization of the clean coal yield while satisfying product quality specifications and minimization of the preparation cost. One way to reduce the coal preparation cost and increase plant profitability is to increase the amount of clean coal (yield) produced from the same rate of feed coal without increasing the total cost. This can be accomplished by either replacing the existing processes with more cost-effective processes or using advanced control techniques to run the preparation plant at its highest performance by optimally setting the operating conditions. An established necessary condition for the maximization of plant overall clean coal yield is to equalize the incremental (or elemental) product quality, such as the incremental ash content of each cleaning circuit. Although this approach has been known to be quite successful while addressing single product quality, it is known to have limitations when dealing with multiple product quality constraints.;In this study, a novel coal preparation plant simulator was developed that not only maximizes the overall clean coal yield of various plant flowsheet configurations, but also identifies the most profitable plant flowsheet. The simulator identifies the appropriate operating conditions of the best flowsheet that would maximize the plant yield. The developed simulator uses a genetic algorithms (GA) based optimization technique to maximize the overall clean coal yield for each flowsheet alternative while satisfying multiple product quality constraints. The net present value (NPV) analysis is utilized to maximize the plant profitability over the total life span of a new preparation plant or the remaining life of an existing plant.;Empirical models for predicting the performance of a majority of units were developed using actual experimental data collected from multiple plant testing exercises. A unified model was developed to suitably predict the separation performance from all density based processes. Empirical models were also developed for determining capital and operating costs for individual components of plant flowsheets primarily based on mine and mill equipment cost data from an established data bank of Western Mine Engineering, Inc.;This newly developed simulator was tested using size-by-size feed washability data from multiple mines. The results indicated that for a given feed coal material and target product quality specifications, the heavy medium based flowsheet usually generates more clean coal product (yield), but also requires higher capital investment and incurs a higher annual operating cost than a water based flowsheet. Therefore, economic analysis, such as NPV analysis, should be conducted instead of merely calculating the cost per ton of coal cleaning to determine the most beneficial plant flowsheet alternative.
