Essentials Of Optimization For Chemical Engineering

Multiple levels of optimization include optimal scheduling corporate headquarters to distribute raw materials among the company's plants to maximize profits in producing, transporting, and marketing products to consumers worldwide. Optimal scheduling of individual plants to set operating conditions to produce required products from allocated raw materials for a maximum net profit or minimum cost of operations. The best schedule is determined for steady-state daily or weekly average flow rates for the plant. Finally, there is on-line optimization of process operations to determine the set-points for the distributed control system of the individual process units in the plant which give the best operating conditions while producing the specified quality and quantity of products. On-line optimization maintains the plant control system operating the plant under optimal conditions.
