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…

Introduction A refiner aims to increase production while ensuring that specifications concerning petroleum products meet set standards. Mathematical programming models are used for this purpose. In addition, options concerning operations as well as a strategic investment are studied and analyzed.…

Introduction Multi-product manufacturing takes place at refineries. Diesel, gasoline, aviation fuel, and many other products are produced due to continuous processes during refinery operations. A final refinery product is obtained by blending many intermediate products to achieve the desired quality,…
