A Novel Scheduling Approach to Waste Minimization in Process Industry

Article Preview

Abstract:

Waste minimization opportunities could be of great importance for decreasing the waste pollution load and production costs. A formulation of multi-objective optimization problems is proposed for the optimal design of chemical processes with waste minimization. As an illustrating example, a problem of optimal design of multipurpose chemical processes was solved. The approach developed is shown to be effective for solving problems of optimal design of chemical processes with waste minimization.
