Introduction The prime challenges concerning oil movement during refinery operations are many. For example, performing an efficient periodic reconciliation of oil movements, managing an enormous data set and entering it manually, measuring each unit-wise loss, considering other losses due to…

Introduction Enterprise-wide blend planning is useful in the optimization process of refinery operations. This type of planning requires integrated scheduling and planning to minimize the gap between the operations required for production scheduling and raw material procurement. Therefore, blending optimization…

Introduction Many superstructures have been presented with a general topology to implement the nonlinear processes and blending relations. The main objective is extending the model addressing a single product to multiple ones connected at the common supply pipelines. A refinery…
