Optimizing Furnace efficiency for Factory of Future using Cooperative Games [PDF]
Approximately 75% of energy used in petrochemical and refining industries is consumed by furnaces. Operating furnaces at optimal conditions results in huge amounts of savings. In this paper, we model the furnace efficiency optimization as a multi-objective problem involving multiple interactions among the controlled variables and propose a cooperative ...

Carbohydrate-Mediated Purification of Petrochemicals [PDF]
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are known to facilitate energy-efficient separations of important industrial chemical feedstocks. Here, we report how a class of green MOFs-namely CD-MOFs-exhibits high shape selectivity toward aromatic hydrocarbons. CD-MOFs, which consist of an extended porous network of γ-cyclodextrins (γ-CDs) and alkali metal cations,

Robust optimization for the pooling problem [PDF]
The pooling problem has applications, e.g., in petrochemical refining, water networks, and supply chains and is widely studied in global optimization. To date, it has largely been treated deterministically, neglecting the influence of parametric uncertainty. This paper applies two robust optimization approaches, reformulation and cutting planes, to the

Utilization of Virtual Reality Visualizations on Heavy Mobile Crane Planning for Modular Construction [PDF]
Many kinds of industrial projects involve the use of prefabricated modules built offsite, and installation on-site using mobile cranes. Due to their costly operation and safety concerns, utilization of such heavy lift mobile cranes requires a precise heavy lift planning. Traditional heavy lift path planning methods on congested industrial job sites are

Data-based Design of Inferential Sensors for Petrochemical Industry [PDF]
Inferential (or soft) sensors are used in industry to infer the values of imprecisely and rarely measured (or completely unmeasured) variables from variables measured online (e.g., pressures, temperatures). The main challenge, akin to classical model overfitting, in designing an effective inferential sensor is the selection of a correct structure of ...

Strategic and Tactical Crude Oil Supply Chain: Mathematical Programming Models [PDF]
Crude oil industry very fast became a strategic industry. Then, optimization of the Crude Oil Supply Chain (COSC) models has created new challenges. This fact motivated me to study the COSC mathematical programming models.
