Economic Advantages of Non-Linear Modeling for Refinery and Petrochemicals Planning

摘要

1. Presentation will highlight multiple case studies to display the benefits of rigorous non-linear planning (NLP) systems over traditional LP modeling software 2. 3 case studies will be presented including a Crude Distillation Unit, an Asphalt plant, and a complete refinery with FCC. 3. Contents 3.1 Economic Benefits of Non-linear programming (NLP) 3.2 Description of Technology: What is NLP? 3.3 Case Study-Crude Distillation 3.4 Case Study-Asphalt Plant 3.5 Case Study-Full Refinery with FCC 3.6 Conclusions/Discussion
