Problems of the equipment choice for existing multiproduct chemical plants

Abstract

Abstract The problem of using the existing equipment to make a new product in a given volume by the due date is formulated as a two-level hierarchy of tasks. The upper level is the problem of finding product's batch size and scheduling parameters of the plant; the lower level is the problems of selecting the equipment units for the implementation of the batch processing stages. Example of solving the problem of making a new product in a given volume by the deadline for real multiproduct batch plant.
