Book Dynamic Operations in the Planning and Scheduling of Multi  Products Batch Plants

Download or read book Dynamic Operations in the Planning and Scheduling of Multi Products Batch Plants written by Tarun Bhatia and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "Execution of tasks in dynamic batch units provides additional operating freedom via transient control profiles. When considered at the design and scheduling stage, this freedom can stretch the limits of profitability under strict market, facility and time constraints. The work in this paper incorporates dynamic processing conditions for products in a multi-product batch plant, as opposed to fixing the process by recipes, in the broader context of equipment design, production planning, scheduling and inventory considerations. The objective is a general function of fixed design costs, operating costs, production revenues etc. Decisions include stage processing times for products, transient stage operating policies, continuous design parameters, production capacity and production schedules. The infinite dimensional optimal control problem for each operation is solved using collocation over finite time elements ([6], [7]). Scheduling, with its combinatorial complexity, is addressed in the scope of flowshop plants for specific transfer policies using the Aggregated Scheduling model in [3] and [4]. Two examples are solved via sequential and simultaneous solution approaches. The smaller first example allows transient control at the reaction stage for problems with relevant objectives in planning and scheduling. The second example allows transient control at the reaction and high purity separation stage for a general objective function. Considerable savings achieved in most situations are reported, along with moderate computational requirements for solving the examples."

Book 23 European Symposium on Computer Aided Process Engineering

Download or read book 23 European Symposium on Computer Aided Process Engineering written by Yanina Fumero and published by Elsevier Inc. Chapters. This book was released on 2013-06-10 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this work is to propose a multiperiod mixed-integer linear programming model for the design and production planning of multistage multiproduct batch plants integrating, simultaneously, scheduling decisions. The time horizon consists of several periods in which deterministic variations due to seasonal or market fluctuations like prices, products demand limits, costs, and raw materials availability, are taken into account. The plant operates using production campaigns along each time period. The objective function maximizes the net present value considering incomes from product sales and, investment, resources, inventories, operation, waste disposal and late delivery penalties costs. The proposed model allows not only finding the optimal plant structure (unit sizes and its duplication in parallel in each stage), but also the production planning in every time period as well as number and optimal sequence of batches in each campaign.

Book An Embedding Formulation for the Optimal Scheduling and Design of Multi purpose Batch Plants

Download or read book An Embedding Formulation for the Optimal Scheduling and Design of Multi purpose Batch Plants written by Jane A. Vaselenak and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "This paper presents a new formulation for the optimal design of multipurpose batch plants in which not all products require the same processing equipment. In order to circumvent the combinatorial problem of selecting the product grouping for the optimal schedule, a superstructure representation is proposed that can be modeled as a multiperiod optimization problem. For most cases this problem can be condensed into a merged formulation that is similar to the problem of optimal design of multiproduct batch plants. The proposed method is very efficient as it requires the solution of a single MINLP problem. Two numerical examples are presented."

Book Simultaneous Synthesis  Sizing and Scheduling of Multiproduct Batch Plants

Download or read book Simultaneous Synthesis Sizing and Scheduling of Multiproduct Batch Plants written by Deepak B. Birewar and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "Merging of various processing tasks and using parallel equipment in multiproduct batch plants can help to reduce the overall idle time in the processing units. When this increased efficiency of operations is anticipated together with the scheduling at the design stage significant savings in the capital cost of batch plants are possible. This paper addresses the structural design problem of multiproduct batch plants for deciding which tasks to merge in what units, in what units to use parallel equipment, and the sizing of these units while simultaneously accounting for the production scheduling. MINLP models are proposed that take into account the various complex economic trade-offs involved in these design decisions. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate the scope of this model."
