1. Introduction
Ammonia is one of the important chemicals that has innumerable uses in a wide range of areas, that is, explosive
materials, pharmaceuticals, polymers, acids and coolers,
particularly in synthetic fertilizers. It is produced worldwide
on a large scale with capacities extending to about 159 million
tons at 2010. Generally, the average energy consumption of
ammonia production per ton is 1900 KG of standard coal in
China, which is much higher than the advanced standard of
1570 KG around the world. At the same time, the haze and
particulate matter 2.5 has been serious exceeded in big cities
in China at recent years, and one of the important reasons is
the emission of coal chemical factories. Thus, an economic
potential exists in energy consumption of the ammonia
synthesis as prices of energy rise and reduce the ammonia
synthesis pollution to protect the environment. Ammonia
synthesis process has the characteristics of nonlinearity,
strong coupling, large time-delay and great inertia load, and
so forth. Steady-state operation-optimization can be a reliable
technique for output improvement and energy reduction
without changing any devices.
The optimization of ammonia synthesis process highly
relies on the accurate system model. To establish an appropriate mathematical model of ammonia synthesis process is a
2
specific internal mechanism because a lot of parameters are
unknown in real industrial process.
In order to achieve the required accuracy of the model,
some researches focus on the novel modeling methods
combining some heuristic methods such as ANN (Artificial
Neural Network), LS-SVM (Least Squares Support Vector
Machine) with Evolutionary Algorithm, for example, genetic
algorithm, ant colony optimization (ACO), particle swarm
optimization (PSO), differential evolution (DE), and so forth.
DE is one of the most popular algorithms for this problem and
has been applied in many fields. Sacco and Hendersonb [5]
introduced a variant of the differential evolution algorithm
with a new mutation operator based on a topographical
heuristic, and used it to solve the nuclear reactor core design
optimization problem. Rout et al. [6] proposed a simple but
promising hybrid prediction model by suitably combining
an adaptive autoregressive moving average architecture and
differential evolution for forecasting of exchange rates. Ozcan
et al. [7] carried out the cost optimization of an air cooling
system by using Lagrange multipliers method, differential
evolution algorithm and particle swarm optimization for
various temperatures and mass flow rates. The results showed
that the method gives high accuracy results within a short
time interval. Zhang et al. [8] proposed a hybrid differential
evolution algorithm for the job shop scheduling problem with
random processing times under the objective of minimizing
the expected total tardiness. Arya and Choube [9] described
a methodology for allocating repair time and failure rates to
segments of a meshed distribution system using differential
evolution technique. Xu et al. [10] proposed a model of
ammonia conversion rate by LS-SVM and a hybrid algorithm
of PSO and DE is described to identify the hyper-parameters
of LS-SVM.
To describe the relationship between net value of ammonia in ammonia synthesis reactor and the key operational
parameters, least squares support vector machine is employed
to build the structure of the relationship model, in which a
novel algorithm called CDEAS is proposed to identify the
parameters. The experiment results showed that the proposed
CDEAS-LS-SVM optimizing model is very effective of being
used to obtain the optimal operational parameters of ammonia synthesis converter.
The remaining of the paper is organized as follows.
Section 2 describes the ammonia synthesis production process. Section 3 proposes a novel Cultural Differential Evolution with Ant Colony Search (CDEAS) algorithm. Section 4
constructs a model using LS-SVM based on the proposed
CDEAS algorithm. Section 5 presents the experiments and
computational results and discussion. Finally, Section 6 summarizes the above results and presents several problems
which remain to be solved.

3.1. Differential Evolution Algorithm. Evolutionary Algorithms, which are inspired by the evolution of species, have
been adopted to solve a wide range of optimization problems
successfully in different fields. The primary advantage of
Evolutionary Algorithms is that they just require the objective
function values, while properties such as differentiability and
continuity are not necessary [14].
Differential evolution, proposed by Storn and Price, is a
fast and simple population based stochastic search technique
[15]. DE employs mutation, crossover, and selection operations. It focuses on differential vectors of individuals with the
characteristics of simple structure and rapid convergence. The
detailed procedure of DE is presented below.
(1) Initialization. In a -dimension space, NP parameter
vectors so-called individuals cover the entire search space
by uniformly randomizing the initial individuals within the
search space constrained by the minimum and maximum
parameter bounds min and max :

vector

where rand is a random number between in 0 and 1 distributed uniformly. The crossover factor is a probability
rate within the range 0 and 1, which influences the tradeoff
between the ability of exploration and exploitation. rand is an
integer chosen randomly in [1, ]. To ensure that the trial
vector ( ) differs from its corresponding individual ( ) by
at least one dimension, = rand is recommended.
(4) Selection. When a newly generated trial vector exceeds
its corresponding upper and lower bounds, it is reinitialized
within the presetting range uniformly and randomly. Then
the trial individual is compared with the individual , and
the one with better fitness is selected as the new individual in
the next iteration:

Step 4. According to acceptance function, choose good individuals from subpopulation 1 and subpopulation 2, and then
update the normative knowledge and situational knowledge.
Step 5. Adopt the normative knowledge and situational
knowledge to influence each individual in population space
through the influence functions, and generate two corresponding subpopulations.
Step 6. Select individuals from subpopulation 1 and subpopulation 2, and update the belief spaces including the two
knowledge sources for the next generation.
Step 7. If the algorithm reaches the given times, exchange
the knowledge of , , and mutation strategy between
subpopulation 1 and subpopulation 2; otherwise, go to Step 8.
Step 8. If the stop criteria are achieved, terminate the iteration; otherwise, go back to Step 2.
3.3. Simulation Results of CDEAS. The proposed CDEAS
algorithm is compared with original DE algorithm. To get
the average performance of the CDEAS algorithm 30 runs
on each problem instance were performed and the solution
quality was averaged. The parameters of CDEAS and original
DE algorithm are set as follows: the maximum evolution
generation is 2000; the size of the population is 50; for original
DE algorithm = 0.3 and = 0.5; for CDEAS, the size
of both two subpopulations is 25; the initial and are
randomly selected in (0, 1) and the initial mutation strategy
is DE/rand/1; the interval information exchanges between the
two subpopulations is 50 generations; the thresholds =
= 0.5 and 1 = 2 = 0.1.
To illustrate the effectiveness and performance of CDEAS
algorithm for optimization problems, a set of 18 representative benchmark functions which were listed in the appendix
were employed to evaluate them in comparison with original
DE. The test problems are heterogeneous, nonlinear, and
numerical benchmark functions and the global optimum for
2 , 4 , 7 , 9 , 11 , 13 , and 15 is shifted. Functions 1 7 are
unimodal and functions 8 18 are multimodal. The detailed
principle of functions is presented in [11]. The comparisons
results of CDEAS and original DE algorithm are shown in
Table 4 of the appendix. The experimental results of original
DE and CDEAS algorithm on each function are listed in
Table 1. Mean, best, worst, std., success rate, time represent
the mean minimum, best minimum, worst minimum, the
standard deviation of minimum, the success rate, and the
average computing time in 30 trials, respectively.
From simulation results of Table 1 we can obtain that
CDEAS reached the global optimum of 2 and 7 in all trials,
and the success rate reached 100% of functions 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ,
6 , 7 , and 18 . For most of the test functions, the success

From the analysis discussed above, some important variables have significant effects on the net value of ammonia.
By discussion with experienced engineers and taking into
consideration a priori knowledge about the process, the
system pressure, recycle gas flow rate, the H/N ratio, hot-spot
temperatures in the catalyst bed, and ammonia and methane
concentration in the recycle gas are identified as the key
auxiliary variables to model net value of ammonia which is
listed in Table 2.

respectively. The results indicate that the proposed CDEASLS-SVM model has a good tracking precision performance
and guides production better.
6. Conclusion
In this paper, an optimizing model which describes the
relationship between net value of ammonia and key operational parameters in ammonia synthesis has been proposed.
Some representative benchmark functions were employed to
evaluate the performance of a novel algorithm CDEAS. The
obtained results show that CDEAS algorithm is efficacious
for solving most of the optimization problems comparisons
with original DE. Least squares support vector machine
is used to build the model while CDEAS algorithm is
employed to identify the parameters of LS-SVM. The simulation results indicated that CDEAS-LS-SVM is superior
to other models (BP-NN, LS-SVM, and DE-LS-SVM) and
meets the requirements of ammonia synthesis process. The
CDEAS-LS-SVM optimizing model makes it a promising
candidate for obtaining the optimal operational parameters
of ammonia synthesis process and meets the maximum
benefit of ammonia synthesis production.
